Abstract: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for resectable oesophageal cancer improves overall survival compared to surgery alone but is associated with increased toxicity. NeoSCOPE is a trial of two different nCRT regimens for resectable oesophageal and was the first multi-centre trial in the UK to incorporate 4D-CT into the radiotherapy planning. Using NeoSCOPE 4D-CT cases, we undertook a dosimetric comparison study of 3D-CT versus 4D-CT plans comparing target volume coverage and dose to organs at risk. We used established normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models to evaluate the potential toxicity reduction of using 4D-CT plans in oesophageal cancer. Our work shows that incorporating 4D-CT into treatment planning may significantly reduce the toxicity burden from this treatment.
