Cancers, 2023 Interfraction anatomic deformations decrease the precision of radiotherapy, which can be improved by online adaptive radiation therapy (oART). However, oART takes time, allowing intrafractional deformations. In this study on focal radiotherapy for bladder cancer, we analyzed the time effect of oART on the equivalent uniform dose in the CTV (EUDCTV) per
