II Summer School of Clinical Adaptive Radiotherapy

Negrar di Valpolicella, Italy

26-28 June 2024

Endorsed by ESTRO

Online adaptive radiotherapy is a new therapeutic procedure that enables daily treatment plan adaptation. This approach can be performed with MR- or CT-based linear accelerators. This new technology promises to increase the therapeutic ratio of treatments by safely sparing organs at risk while increasing treatment accuracy. The novelty of this technological and clinical approach induces clinicians and operators to change their usual paradigm and personalise treatment. Several machines that have different structural and imaging characteristics are available; therefore, it is necessary to be aware of each available technology in order to exploit efficiently its strengths in the appropriate clinical setting. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to attend a comprehensive course to speed up learning and to develop appropriate treatment workflows.

The Department of Advanced Radiation Oncology of the Cancer Care Centre at IRCCS Sacro Cuore Don Calabria Hospital invites you to the II° Summer School of Clinical Adaptive Radiotherapy, which will be held in Negrar di Valpolicella,– Italy, from the 26-28 June 2024. The summer school is open to all radiation oncologists and medical physicists with expertise in clinical adaptive treatments, but also to those who intend to implement such technology in the future or want to become familiar with it. The course offers a keen practical approach with real clinical cases, contouring and planning sessions, and live treatments on the machines.
