Validating predictive models of radiotherapy toxicity to improve quality-of-life and reduce side-effects in cancer survivors (REQUITE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
Long-term side-effects of radiotherapy impact on the quality-of-life (QoL) of cancer survivors. These side-effects could be reduced if predicted in advance. Previous work identified clinical and biological predictors but a major, coordinated approach is needed to validate them so they can be used clinically. The EU has ~17.8 million people living with a prior diagnosis of cancer of whom ~7 million ...

QUantitative Imaging in Cancer: CONnecting CEllular Processes with Therapy (QUIC-CONCEPT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
The QuIC-ConCePT consortium has 2 objectives: 1.(90% of resource, WP2-5) to qualify 3 specific imaging biomarkers (IBs) of tumour cell proliferation, apoptosis, and necrosis, to allow drug developers to demonstrate reliably modulation of these pathologic processes in tumours in patients in realistic trials. Our vision for January 2016 is that drug developers can incorporate these IBs for decision- ...

European NoVel Imaging Systems for ION therapy (ENVISION)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,
Following the pioneering experiences which lasted several decades, particle therapy has become a recognized way of curing cancer. 2 new European dual-ion facilities (Heidelberg, Pavia) will soon become operational, followed by several others which are today at different stages of planning and construction. Hadron therapy faces the challenge of improving treatment outcomes with tools able to provid ...

Low Energy Gamma and X-ray therapy (LOGX)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 3 janv. 2014,
"Cancer is a serious disease with high mortality and morbidity. Treatment is often performed with radiation therapy. To assure a good control of the tumour with limited side effect, a very high conformity of the radiation field is needed in the treatments. This led to the development of very complex treatments using external photon beam. There is however another, more cost-effective, way to achiev ...

Development of a Spatio-Temporal-Energetic Radiation Research Platform for Animals (STERRPA)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
"In modern radiotherapy complex radiation fields are applied on cancer patients to eradicate cancer cells, while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. In stark contrast, irradiation systems for small animals bear almost no resemblance to this paradigm. Usually these systems only administer large radiation fields which can not be modulated in their spatio-temporal aspect. Consequently, many anima ...
