19 Partial tumor boost Tumoricidal dose on > 60% of the volume Virtual volume reduction No repopulation of tumor cells included in the partial boost volume lower probability for local recurrence Gastro-intestinal cancers such as hepatic malignancies and pancreatic cancer 19

22 Clinical trials: open Randomized trial comparing conventional vs short-course reduced volume conformal post-surgery radiation treatment in women with stage I or II breast cancer. Randomized trial of preoperative radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost compared to chemoradiotherapy for ct3-4 rectal cancer. Phase 2 trial of helical tomotherapy for oligometastatic colorectal cancer. Phase 2 trial of stereotactic body radiotherapy for oligometastatic non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). (VERO) Computed Tomography as tools for patient-individualized radiation therapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Feasability study for stereotactic body radiotherapy with dynamic tracking on the VERO SBRT system. 22

23 Clinical trials: opening Biological modulated radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer on the VERO-SBRT system. Randomised phase II study of single fraction radiotherapy with the VERO SBRT system for painful bone metastases of the spine with or without the early introduction of supportive care: a one-day care program. Arginase as a predictive biomarker and molecular target in chemo/radiotherapy of metastatic colorectal cancer. Feasibility study of breast cancer boosts with the VERO SBRT system Whole brain radiotherapy with hippocampal sparing and simultaneous integrated boost for multiple brain metastasis (fiber tracking) Phase III trial of hypofractionated vs. standard fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for prostate cancer (VERO) 23
