Programme

Overview: This guideline session provides critical insights into the implementation of the "ESTRO/EANO recommendation on reirradiation of glioblastoma" guideline. The session offers a comprehensive analysis of the guideline's core components, centered on the nine key questions that formed the basis for 18 recommendations and nine expert statements. You will gain knowledge of patient selection criteria, imaging techniques for recurrence assessment, target volume delineation, treatment planning and combined treatment modalities. To enhance the guideline’s practical relevance, we will present two illustrative case reports. These real-world cases will demonstrate the application of the guideline's recommendations, highlighting both their potential uses and limitations in clinical practice.

Overview: This session will focus on enhancing the expertise of radiation therapists in reirradiation workflows, addressing challenges in treatment planning, and exploring how evolving practices are reshaping their roles. Topics will include innovative approaches to reirradiation processes, effective strategies for overcoming planning obstacles, and the broader implications of reirradiation on the practice of radiation therapists. This symposium highlights the vital contributions of radiation therapists to improving patient care in radiation oncology.
