• Patients unfit for both surgery and systemic chemotherapy (i.e. KPS 50-70;
WHO 2 or favourable WHO3) or patients who refuse surgery or chemotherapy.
In case of prior treatment with chemotherapy: A maximum of two cycles of
chemotherapy is aloud for inclusion. The interval between the last cycle of
chemotherapy and the first fraction of radiation therapy should be at least six

chemotherapy these have to score equal or below 1 (CTCAE v.5.0) in before the
first fraction of radiation therapy is delivered.
• Written informed consent
• Age <18 years
• Administration of more than two cycles of chemotherapy
• Distant metastasis
• Imminent bowel obstruction
• Active bleeding
• Uncontrolled infection
• Contra-indications for MRI (only for VUmc and UMCU)
- pacemakers or implanted defibrillators, deep brain stimulators, cochlear
implants. Patients who have a metallic foreign body in their eye, or who have
an aneurysm clip in their brain, cannot have an MRI scan since the magnetic
field may dislodge the metal
- Patients with severe claustrophobia not able to tolerate an MRI scan
