Future of Multidisciplinary Team in the Context of Adaptive Therapy

The implementation and early adoption of online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has required the presence of clinicians, physicists and radiation therapists (RTT) at the treatment console. The impact on each of them is unique to their profession and must be considered for safe and efficient implementation. In the short term future, widespread adoption will depend on the development of innovative workflows, and rethinking of traditional roles and responsibilities may be required. For the future, technologies such as artificial intelligence promise to change the workflow significantly in terms of speed, automation and decision-making. However, overall communication within the team will persist in being one of the most important aspects.
