Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Standard radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy
Treatment: Other - Experimental radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy

Active comparator: Standard radiotherapy - Radiotherapy as planned at baseline, with replanning allowed only if significant weight loss or change in anatomy due to unforeseen circumstances (eg that would affect dosimetry and treatment delivery of baseline treatment plan). No adaptation to shrinking tumour is allowed.

Experimental: Adaptive radiotherapy - Systematic radiation treatment plan adaptation according to the shrinking tumour on mid-treatment MRI.


Treatment: Other: Standard radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy
No radiotherapy adaptation unless major dosimetric deviation

Treatment: Other: Experimental radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy
