Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART) is transforming modern radiation oncology by enabling real-time treatment adaptation to each patient’s changing anatomy and biology, bridging precision and personalization in cancer care.
Fueled by advances in imaging, AI, motion management, and data-driven planning, ART is redefining how we deliver radiotherapy and making treatments safer, smarter, and more responsive.
The 2026 AAPM Summer School on Adaptive Radiotherapy offers a 4-day immersive, hands-on experience for medical physicists, radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and therapists who want to integrate or optimize ART in their practice. Through interactive lectures, demonstrations, and case-based sessions, participants gain the insight and confidence to lead adaptive radiotherapy in diverse clinical settings.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the foundations: Build a robust conceptual and practical understanding of ART physics, technology, and clinical rationale.
- Translate innovation to practice: Examine current and emerging ART applications, identify implementation barriers, and develop solutions for successful clinical integration.
- Ensure safety and quality: Learn to design and apply QA, risk analysis, and safety frameworks tailored to adaptive workflows.
- Gain hands-on experience: Engage in interactive case studies and ART treatment planning exercises to develop proficiency and confidence in online adaptation techniques.
