Biofocussed prostate cancer RadioTherapy (BiRT): A personalised approach to delivering the right dose to the right place

我们提出了一种用放射治疗治疗前列腺癌的新方法，从标准的整个前列腺治疗转向个性化治疗，改变整个前列腺的辐射强度。我们将从先进的影像学、临床和活检信息中以数学方式将影响放射治疗效果的特征联合收割机结合起来。该模型将绘制出前列腺每个部位所需的放射治疗剂量，以最大限度地杀死癌症，同时最大限度地减少对正常组织的伤害。

We propose a new approach to treating prostate cancer with radiotherapy to move from the standard whole prostate treatment to a personalised treatment that varies radiation intensity throughout the prostate. We will mathematically combine features that influence radiotherapy effect from advanced imaging, clinical and biopsy information. This model will map out the radiotherapy dose required at each part of the prostate, to maximise killing of the cancer whilst minimising harm to normal tissue
