*

Numbers (percentage) except where indicated.

Course was delivered using the MR-Linac and a conventional linac or other radiation therapy method.

In the ATS strategy the plan is adapted based on daily anatomy, whereas during ATP the plan is adapted based on daily patient position.

The reason to discontinue treatment was not related to the MR-Linac treatment in these patients.
