4th Summer School of Clinical Adaptive Radiotherapy on Uro-Oncology
RATIONALE
Endorsed by ESTRO
The 4th Summer School of Clinical Adaptive Radiotherapy is focused on Uro-Oncology and this event aims to provide a comprehensive and practice-oriented overview of the evolving role of adaptive radiotherapy in the management of genitourinary cancers. As technological innovation rapidly advances imaging quality, treatment precision, and workflow automation, clinicians are increasingly required to integrate adaptive strategies into routine practice to improve personalization and outcomes. This course is designed for radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and radiation therapists seeking to deepen their understanding of adaptive radiotherapy concepts, indications, and clinical implementation. Through a balanced combination of theoretical lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will explore the full adaptive pathway, from imaging assessment and target delineation to plan adaptation, quality assurance, and treatment delivery. Interactive clinical case discussions will allow attendees to experience real decision-making scenarios, highlighting challenges such as anatomical variability, organ motion management, and the integration of daily imaging into adaptive workflows. Practical exercises using modern software platforms will help participants translate theoretical models into operational competencies. The program also emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration as a key driver of successful adaptive radiotherapy, encouraging exchange among professionals involved in planning, quality control, and treatment execution. By the end of the course, participants will have strengthened their ability to evaluate when and how to adapt a treatment plan, understand workflow efficiency considerations, and apply evidence-based adaptive techniques to uro-oncological cases. The Summer School ultimately seeks to empower professionals to implement adaptive radiotherapy safely, effectively, and consistently, improving precision and personalization in cancer care.
