Official title
MINIONS - Patient-specific Microstructural and radIobiological Model for persoNalised External Beam radiatION Therapy in Localised tumourS
Overview
The study will include the prospective acquisition of optimized MR imaging data of prostate and breast patients treated with radiotherapy (RT). Within the prospective study, biological specimens from patients undergoing in-room biopsy before RT, will be collected. Histological evaluation and cell culture (and organoid preparation) will be conducted, and samples/organoids will be irradiated with RT for biological validation.
Interventions
- Other prostate patient
patients with prostate cancer treated with RT at IEO - Other breast patients
patients with breast cancer treated with RT at IEO
Primary outcome measures
- Generation of in-silico tumor model [Time frame: 1 year]
- Personalization of the tumour model with patient-specific MR imaging data [Time frame: 1 year]
- Improvement of personalized tumor-models [Time frame: 3 years]
- Evaluation of tumor model in describing the in-vivo microstructural and radiobiological characteristics [Time frame: 3 years]
