  1. CANTERBURY / WESTLAND ABSTRACT This case follows the Radiation Treatment Planning process for a recurrent GlioblastomaMultiforme Brain patient. This patient received two courses of RT to the same site resulting in a total dose of 100Gy to the brain. Interesting points to be covered include patient history, RO prescription choice and associated evidence, planning process and patient implications. This case study will be focused on planning rather than treatment. Sat 31stAug 2013 Session 3/ CR2-4 13:51 – 13:55 HEAPHY 1 & 2 CASE RACE 2 – RT Jemma HURLEY
