New methods to improve regional isotope therapy of liver tumours in cancer patients

癌症患者最常见的死亡原因是重要器官的继发性肿瘤。用局部同位素疗法成功治疗肝脏肿瘤现在提高了生存率。该项目将研究新型放射性标记纳米粒子和先进的计算机成像算法，以改善肝脏肿瘤的区域同位素治疗。它将提供更好的客观评估和管理方法，从而降低风险，提高患者存活率。

The most common cause of death in cancer patients is secondary tumours in vital organs. Successful treatment of liver tumours with regional isotope therapy now offers improved survival rates. This project will research novel radiolabelled nanoparticles and advanced computer imaging algorithms to improve regional isotope therapy of liver tumours. It will provide better methods of objective assessment and management that can reduce risk and improve patient survival.
