Targeted therapy s ncreasng n range and numbers of therapes. It s lkely that ths wll be developed wthn radotherapy (NCRI support). 2. The current state of dosmetry for TRT s probably some decades behnd that of EBT. But there are sgnfcant dfferences as well as smlartes and problems to be solved. 3. Dosmetry has been developed to the extent that t s clncally benefcal. The new challenge s treatment plannng.
