Adaptive radiation therapy is a modern technological advancement that allows radiation treatments to be adjusted daily to account for changes in the patient's anatomy, such as bladder and rectal filling, as well as changes in the tumor volume and position. In this case report, we present a patient with locally advanced cervical cancer who received definitive radiation therapy of 4500 cGy in 25 fractions using the Varian's Ethos system. We observed substantial daily uterine movement, which required re-optimization of each treatment fraction.

The prostate and post-prostatectomy surgical bed can shift in anatomical position due to changes in the bladder and rectum size. This mobility of the prostate and prostatic bed, along with that of the bladder and rectum, poses a challenge in devising a single radiation therapy plan capable of delivering the desired dose to each organ across all treatment fractions. Adaptive radiation therapy (ART) represents a significant advancement in cancer treatment.
