Adapting to the Future: Introducing the Radiation Oncology Alliance Adaptive Radiotherapy Working Group

This paper details the current state of Online Adaptive Radiation Therapy (oART) in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and identifies the need for best practice guidelines for ANZ. This paper has been formulated by a working party formed as a branch of the Radiation Oncology Alliance (ROA), which is the peak group comprising the organisations that represent the four key professions in radiation oncology-the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR), the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM), the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) and the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CNSA). The ROA Adaptive Radiation Therapy working party consists of membership from RANZCR, ACPSEM and ASMIRT.
