Adaptive radiotherapy in locally advanced head and neck cancer: The importance of reduced margins
ART-planning on sCT and DIR propagated contours was feasible and promising for further clinical testing. To obtain a potential clinical benefit of ART, a synchronous reduction of the PTV-margin was warranted. Daily ART can be used to maintain adequate target dosimetry for every fraction, though for the accumulated treatment, insufficient target coverage without ART is unlikely to occur.
