An ESTRO contouring consensus panel consisting of leading radiation oncologists and one radiologist with known subspecialty expertise in prostate cancer was asked to delineate the prostate, seminal vesicles and rectum on co-registered CT and MRI scans. After evaluation of the different contours, literature review and multiple informal discussions by electronic mail a CTV definition was defined and a guide for contouring the CTV of the prostate and the rectum was developed.
