Patients are not static and neither is their anatomy
In this video, Jan Seppälä, Chief Physicist at Kuopio University Hospital in Finland, explains why delivering accurate radiotherapy is inherently challenging. Patients breathe, organs move, and anatomy changes throughout treatment, making precision difficult when relying on static plans. Online adaptive radiotherapy addresses this by enabling clinicians to respond to these changes in the moment, improving confidence in the dose delivered to both the target and surrounding organs. For Seppälä, this represents a fundamental step forward in radiotherapy, moving from treating a planned scenario to treating the patient as they are, every day.

From planning to precision: Treating on the anatomy of the day
Seeing the tumor is only part of the challenge. Acting on it is what changes outcomes. In this video, Prof. Dr. Martijn Intven explains how online adaptive radiotherapy enables clinicians to move beyond static treatment plans to truly personalized care. By adapting treatment in response to daily anatomical variation, clinicians can deliver more accurate doses while reducing toxicity. He also reflects on how this shift is opening new possibilities in complex indications such as pancreatic and bladder cancer, where precision is critical. Learn more: https://www.aboutadaptive.com
Radiotherapy is not a last resort. It is essential care
Radiotherapy plays a critical role in cancer care, yet it is often undervalued. In this video, Dr. Matthias Lampe from DTZ Berlin, highlights the importance of recognizing radiation oncology as a core component of treatment, not a final option. Speaking from his experience in Germany, he emphasizes the need for continued investment to maintain and improve the quality of care. He also underscores the broader challenge facing healthcare systems: balancing cost pressures with the need to deliver better outcomes for patients. https://www.aboutadaptive.com
Adapting treatment to real patient anatomy in brachytherapy
In brachytherapy, precision depends on understanding what is happening inside the patient at every stage. In this video, Dorota Nenko, Medical Physicist at Katowice Oncology Center, explains how imaging and adaptive approaches allow clinicians to adjust treatment fraction by fraction. By responding to anatomical changes, clinicians can better target lesions while minimizing the risk of missing the tumor. She highlights how adaptive thinking is essential in managing internal motion and improving treatment accuracy. Learn more: https://www.aboutadaptive.com
Adaptive radiotherapy should be the standard of care
Treating patients based on outdated anatomy is no longer acceptable. In this video, Matthias Lampe, Radiation Oncologist at TTZ Berlin, explains why online adaptive radiotherapy represents a fundamental shift in cancer care. By using AI-driven imaging, auto-contouring, and real-time plan adaptation, clinicians can treat patients based on their anatomy at the moment of treatment, not assumptions made days or weeks earlier. For Lampe, adaptive radiotherapy is not just a technical advancement, it is a responsibility to patients, ensuring treatment is accurate, reliable, and as easy as possible for those already facing serious illness.

Will adaptive radiotherapy become the norm?
What if future clinicians look back and question why we didn’t adapt every treatment? In this video, Martyna Sroita, Medical Physicist, explores the evolving role of adaptive radiotherapy and whether it should be applied to every patient. She reflects on a future where treatment is tailored continuously to patient anatomy, rather than relying on a single reference plan. Sroita also highlights a pragmatic approach, where adaptive techniques are used selectively based on patient need, balancing precision with clinical practicality.

A non-invasive alternative: Adaptive radiotherapy in prostate cancer
Radiotherapy is evolving from supportive care to a definitive, non-invasive treatment option. In this video, Martijn Intven, Radiation Oncologist and Professor of Image-Guided Radiotherapy in Utrecht, Netherlands, discusses how online adaptive radiotherapy enables highly accurate, ablative treatment for prostate cancer. By accounting for daily anatomical changes, clinicians can deliver precise doses while protecting surrounding tissue. He highlights the growing shift from surgery to radiotherapy, and from long treatment courses to shorter, more efficient regimens, improving outcomes while reducing the burden on patients and healthcare systems.

Improving workflow to unlock adaptive radiotherapy
The success of adaptive radiotherapy depends on more than technology, it depends on workflow. In this video, Matthias Lampe explains how AI, automation, and data-driven tools can accelerate treatment adaptation while maintaining quality and safety. He emphasizes the importance of building experience gradually, collaborating with peers, and continuously improving processes. For Dr. Lampe, adaptive radiotherapy is part of a broader shift toward more patient-centered care, where treatment fits into patients’ lives, not the other way around.

Adapter le traitement au patient : vers une nouvelle précision en radiothérapie [French]
This video is in French, with French subtitles. Les patients ne sont pas statiques, et leur anatomie ne l’est pas non plus. Dans cette vidéo, Pierre Fau, oncologue radiothérapeute, explique comment les variations anatomiques au cours du traitement peuvent impacter la précision et les résultats. Les mouvements des organes et les changements quotidiens rendent les plans de traitement fixes moins fiables. La radiothérapie adaptative en ligne permet d’y répondre en ajustant le traitement à chaque séance, en fonction de l’anatomie réelle du patient. Cela améliore la précision, protège davantage les tissus sains et renforce la confiance dans la dose délivrée. Pour Pierre Fau, il s’agit d’une évolution vers une radiothérapie véritablement personnalisée, basée sur le patient tel qu’il est au moment du traitement. Learn more: https://www.aboutadaptive.com
Improving precision in radiotherapy through daily adaptation [French]
This video is in French. Radiotherapy must adapt to the reality of patient variability. In this video, Dr Lapierre, Radiation Oncologist in Lyon, France, explains how anatomical changes during treatment can impact precision and outcomes. From organ motion to day-to-day variation, relying on a fixed plan introduces uncertainty that clinicians must manage. Online adaptive radiotherapy enables clinicians to adjust treatment at each session, improving accuracy, protecting healthy tissue, and increasing confidence in the dose delivered. For Dr Lapierre, this approach represents a step toward more responsive, patient-centered care, where treatment reflects the patient’s anatomy at the time of delivery.
