Sources: 2. Developments: 2. A multidisciplinary panel of twenty Italian experts, including radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and radiotherapy technicians, has established new national clinical guidelines for Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT). Published in the scientific journal Oncologie, these recommendations aim to standardize high-precision radiation treatments for gastrointestinal tumors in the upper abdomen, specifically targeting the pancreas, stomach, liver, and bile ducts. The initiative was a collaborative effort involving the Italian Society of Radiotherapy and Clinical Oncology (AIRO), the Italian Society of Oncology Radiotherapy Technicians (AITRO), and the Italian Society of Health Physicists dedicated to Radiotherapy (AIFM). The working group identified 16 fundamental points for clinical implementation to ensure uniform quality standards across Italian treatment centers. These techniques focus on maximizing tumor targeting and minimizing damage to healthy tissue through methods such as personalized respiratory monitoring and integrated daily CT scans on modern linear accelerators. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-28: New Italian guidelines set standards for gastrointestinal tumor radiotherapy New Italian clinical guidelines establish standards for precision Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) to treat upper abdominal gastrointestinal tumors, such as those in the pancreas, stomach, and liver. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/new-italian-guidelines-set-standards-for-gastrointestinal-tumor-radiotherapy ### 2026-08-18: Chieti Oncology Unit joins 20 experts setting national IGRT guidelines The Chieti Oncology Radiotherapy Unit is among 20 Italian experts establishing new national guidelines for high-precision Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) to treat upper gastrointestinal tumors. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chieti-oncology-unit-joins-20-experts-setting-national-igrt-guidelines --- Cite as: Italian gastrointestinal tumor radiotherapy guidelines.
