Systemic therapy in locally advanced cervical cancer: A18, INTERLACE and standard of care chemoradiotherapy perspectives
Abstract
The recently published overall survival results from the A18 and INTERLACE trials are potentially practice changing. This webinar aims to summarise the key trial findings as well as give the radiotherapy oncology community the opportunity to discuss and question these results with some of the trial experts present.

Molecular classification of endometrial cancer: how does it work and what does it imply for treatment and outcome?
Summary: The molecular classification of endometrial cancer has changed the way we understand and treat this common gynecological malignancy. Although the molecular classification has been integrated in the WHO classification of endometrial cancer and many guidelines, its implementation in the diagnosis and treatment is hampered. In this webinar 3 experts will summarize current knowledge about the molecular classification in endometrial cancer and translate this to current practice.

Adaptive strategies in radiotherapy of locally advanced cervical cancer
Summary: In radiotherapy, inter-fraction deformation of pelvic anatomy during EBRT vary widely between cervical cancer patients. Population-based margins may therefore result in compromised target coverage and/or less normal tissue sparing.
In this webinar we will address adaptive radiotherapy of cervical cancer. An introductory lecture about different alternative adaptive strategies will be followed by a case-discussion, where representatives from four hospitals present their adaptive approach.

State of the art external beam radiotherapy for vulvar cancer
Purpose: To obtain knowledge about state of the art image-guided radiotherapy for vulval cancer, with a special focus on EBRT.
Summary: This webinar provides a short introduction into the current ESGO guidelines for treatment of primary vulval cancer, and a summary of the most up to date results/publications in the literature. Subsequent discussion will focus on the AGO-CaRE study and the delivery of EBRT addressing practical issues e.g. use of the target concept in primary vulval cancer, target contouring, treatment planning and management of anatomical changes during radiotherapy.

Improving Efficiency and Precision in Cervix Cancer Radiation Therapy with Auto-Planning
Purpose: To acquire knowledge on the state-of-the-art treatment planning techniques utilizing automated planning for both EBRT and BT, with particular emphasis on cervical cancer.
Summary: The upcoming webinar focuses on automated planning in radiation therapy, reviewing various methods of automated planning and comparing them to highlight the advantages of each approach. The webinar discusses the Varian implementation of knowledge-based planning, RapidPlan, for EBRT, and the use of BiCycle-assisted auto-planning for BT. Attendees can expect to gain insights into the automated planning workflow, the advantages of this approach, and its comparison with manual planning. Case examples are provided for both EBRT and BT to illustrate the topic further.
