Abstract
Using a single CT-based treatment plan for all fractions may result in a suboptimal treatment at later fractions. Therefore, repeat CT imaging should be the minimal standard practice in HDREBT for rectal cancer to determine whether an intervention would be necessary. Replanning based on repeat CT imaging resulted in more conformal treatment plans and is therefore recommended.
