CORE--RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

描述：（申请人的描述）放射科学核心是一个 在大学成立之初建立的原始核心， 科罗拉多癌症中心于1988年提供集中设施，培训， 以及使用电离辐射进行癌症研究的专业知识 包括辐照设施，放射性标记细胞的制备， 用于癌症诊断和治疗的抗体，辐射剂量测定，以及 影像诊断咨询服务。 癌症中心会员使用率60 在过去的五年里，一氧化碳辐照器一直保持稳定， 1999年约50%。 放射性标记服务主要用于 用于放射免疫治疗的单克隆抗体标记。 此功能 由于FDA批准了新的抗体， 招聘新教师。 剂量测定咨询服务的重点是 放射性标记的单克隆抗体用于放射免疫治疗。 的 过渡到我们在菲茨西蒙斯新校区预计将增加需要 作为癌症中心的成员， 新网站的研究活动。 此外，新的回旋加速器和PET 预计这些能力将增加研究机会， 放射科学核心的参与。

Description: (Applicant's Description) The Radiological Sciences core was one of the original cores established at the inception of the University of Colorado Cancer Center in 1988 to provide centralized facilities, training, and expertise for cancer research involving the use of ionizing radiation including irradiation facilities, preparation of radiolabeled cells and antibodies for cancer diagnosis and treatment, radiation dosimetry, and diagnostic imaging consultation services. Cancer center member usage of the 60 Co irradiator has been stable over the last five years and has increased by about 50% for 1999. Radiolabeling services have been used primarily for monoclonal antibody labeling for radioimmunotherapy. This function is projected to increase due to the FDA approval of new antibodies and recruitment of new faculty. Dosimetry consultation services have focused on radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies for radioimmunotherapy as well. The transition to our new campus at Fitzsimons is expected to increase the need for additional facilities for irradiation as Cancer Center members move their research activities to the new site. In addition, the new cyclotron and PET capabilities are expected to increase research opportunities and the involvement of the Radiological Sciences core.
