The study focuses on the scientific and clinical evaluation of online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) using the Varian/SHS ETHOS treatment system. In this study, radiation treatment plans are dynamically adjusted on a daily basis over several weeks of therapy to account for anatomical shifts in either the tumour or adjacent normal tissue - a capability that has been difficult to achieve due to technical limitations. With the ETHOS accelerator, such real-time adjustments can be made based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This is a prospective observational study with the primary objective of investigating the feasibility and acceptability of performing ART with ETHOS for different tumour entities. The study will also evaluate the feasibility of integrating multi-parametric data sets into the ART workflow, such as standardised electronic feedback on treatment toxicity from both patients (ePROMS) and physicians (ePRT).

RECRUITINGNumber of Successfully Completed Adaptive Radiotherapy Sessions in Patients with Various Tumor Entities
This measure evaluates the success rate of adaptive radiotherapy sessions with ETHOS across different tumor types. It measures the total count of adaptive treatment sessions that were completed without interruption or complication for each patient.
Time frame: Throughout the treatment period, up to 6 weeks.
Number of Adaptive Radiotherapy Sessions with Dosimetric Benefits to Target Coverage in Patients with Various Tumor Entities
This measure quantifies the adaptive treatment sessions for which a dosimetric advantage for target coverage is detected in patients undergoing adaptive radiotherapy across different tumor types.
Time frame: Throughout the treatment period, up to 6 weeks.
Number of Adaptive Radiotherapy Sessions with Dosimetric Benefits to Organs at Risk in Patients with Various Tumor Entities
This measure quantifies the adaptive treatment sessions for which a dosimetric advantage for organs at risk is detected in patients undergoing adaptive radiotherapy across different tumor types.
Time frame: Throughout the treatment period, up to 6 weeks.
Number of Adaptive Radiotherapy Sessions with Dosimetric Benefit to Organs at Risk Following ePROMs and ePRT-based Plan Adjustments in Patients with Various Tumor Entities
This measure quantifies the adaptive treatment sessions for which in silico analysis identifies a potential dosimetric advantage to organs at risk following ePROMs and ePRT-based plan adjustments.
Time frame: Throughout the treatment period, up to 6 weeks.
