Clinical feasibility of treatment planning on a diagnostic CT scan without or with single fraction plan adaptation in patients with stage II/III rectal cancer
Using dCT-based treatment planning is feasible for rectal cancer patients but requires at least one online adaptive session. A prospective trial (MEC 2023-0445) is ongoing in patients with rectal cancer, aiming to reduce time to start treatment, by omitting the pCT and using online adaptive radiotherapy workflow.
