项目摘要

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. 50% of Canadians will develop cancer during their lifetime and 25% will die from it. In the fight against cancer, between 48 and 52% of cancer patients will receive radiation therapy as a treatment modality, either alone or combine with surgery and chemotherapy. Over the last decades, the rapid pace of technological development has enabled radiation therapy to accomplish significant advances in the local control of various cancer sites. In this proposal, we will be working together with one of the major radiation therapy equipment manufacturers, Elekta, to build the next generation of brachytherapy (a form of radiation therapy) systems. In particular, we seek to develop and validate novel state-of-the-art radiation delivery devices and systems that will enable new, more efficient therapeutical approaches for cancer treatment using. In particular, a large fraction of the proposed effort is dedicated to the integration of GPS-like tracking capability of instruments for faster, safer and more precise cancer treatment delivery. We expect the approaches explored and the technology developed during this proposal to be used in cancer clinics across Canada and worldwide, contributing directly to the fight against cancer and ultimately to the well-being of the Canadian population.

在加拿大，癌症是导致死亡的主要原因。50%的加拿大人会在一生中患上癌症，25%的人会死于癌症。在与癌症的斗争中，48%至52%的癌症患者将接受放射治疗作为一种治疗方式，要么单独治疗，要么与手术和化疗联合治疗。在过去的几十年里，技术的快速发展使放射治疗在各种癌症部位的局部控制方面取得了重大进展。在这项提案中，我们将与主要的放射治疗设备制造商之一Elekta合作，建立下一代近距离治疗（一种放射治疗）系统。特别是，我们寻求开发和验证新的最先进的放射输送设备和系统，这将为癌症治疗提供新的，更有效的治疗方法。特别值得一提的是，拟议的工作的很大一部分致力于整合类似gps的仪器跟踪能力，以更快、更安全和更精确地提供癌症治疗。我们希望在本次提案中探索的方法和开发的技术能够在加拿大和全世界的癌症诊所中使用，直接为对抗癌症做出贡献，并最终为加拿大人民的福祉做出贡献。
