First Summer School of Clinical Adaptive Radiotherapy
Negrar di Valpolicella, Italy
26-28 June, 2023
Endorsed by the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO)
Online adaptive radiotherapy is a new therapeutic procedure, which enables daily adaptation of treatment plans. This approach can be performed with MR- or CT-based linear accelerators. This new technology promises that the therapeutic ratio of treatments can be increased through safe sparing of organs at risk while improving treatment accuracy. The novelty of this technological and clinical approach induces clinicians and operators to change their usual paradigm and to perform new, personalised treatments. Several machines with different structural and imaging characteristics are available, so users require insights to exploit the strengths of each available technology efficiently in the appropriate clinical setting. Therefore, a wide and comprehensive course is of utmost importance so that machine users can climb the learning curve and develop appropriate treatment workflows.
The Department of Advanced Radiation Oncology of the Scientific Institute for Research, Hospitalisation and Healthcare (IRCCS) Sacro Cuore Don Calabria Hospital, Negrar di Valpolicella, invites you to the first summer school of clinical adaptive radiotherapy, which will be held in Negrar di Valpolicella, –Italy, on 26-28 June 2023. The summer school is open to all radiation oncologists and medical physicists with expertise in clinical adaptive treatments, and to those who are going to implement such technology or want to become familiar with it. The course will show a keen practical approach and will cover real clinical cases, contouring and planning sessions, and live treatments on the machines.
