Adaptive Approach to SBRT
February 3, 2021 from 1:30pm EST to 3:30pm EST
Over the years, advances in radiation planning and delivery have markedly improved the ability to focus radiation on target tissues, sparing nearby healthy organs. Adaptive radiotherapy represents various ways of making changes in the treatment to correct for gradual or sudden changes in target volumes and organs at risk due to tissue deformation.
In this session, three renowned experts will speak to their own experience with online adaptive therapy by comparing and contrasting three commercially available modern adaptive treatment solutions. The panelists will discuss how to efficiently and accurately implement these technologies in existing practice. Attendees can expect to learn about clinical evidence regarding adaptive radiotherapy, practical workflow considerations and the role of emerging artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and automation in adaptive therapy. Finally, the panelists will provide insight in what it will take to make adaptive therapy accessible to all patients and how online adaptation opens the door to more opportunities in cancer treatment.

Lesley Baldwin, PhD, MCCPM
Medical Physicist
Dr. Lesley Baldwin is a medical physicist at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, AB, and a member of the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine. She was instrumental in the establishment of Edmonton’s linac-based cranial SRS program and is an active member of the SABR program, treating lung, liver and spinal lesions using a variety of image guidance and motion management techniques. Her clinical interests also include breast radiotherapy, gynecological brachytherapy and 3D printing applications in radiotherapy. Although this is her first time assisting in conference planning, she has a long history of involvement with the Association of Medical Physicists in Alberta and was a past member of AAPM’s Public Education Committee.

Hans de Boer, PhD
Hans de Boer, PhD
Medical Physicist
Hans de Boer entered the field of radiotherapy in 1994. After training to become a medical physicist and obtaining a PhD on efficient application of EPID imaging and methods for optimal offline correction protocols, he worked at the Erasmus MC radiotherapy department in Rotterdam (Netherlands) on fast and efficient image guidance methods involving CBCT and planar kV imaging. In 2009 he started at the University Medical Center Utrecht (Netherlands) to take part in the development of MR-guided radiotherapy and specifically the clinical use of MR-linacs. Currently, he is involved in developing real-time MR-guided plan adaptation and ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy, es pecially for for prostate cancer.
