In this opening webinar, leading centres share why transitioning to RTT-only adaptive radiotherapy became a necessary step. What factors drove the shift? How was responsibility structured and what has proven sustainable? This session draws practical lessons from real-world experience. It serves as a warm-up to the rest of the series.
