SYMPOSIUMWITH PROFFERED PAPERS Combining tumour and normal tissue models 08:45 - 10:00 | LEHAR 4

In this session, A. Kiltie will show that in the process of assessment of the efficacy of drugs as radio sensitising agents, it is important to determine their effects on normal tissues as well as tumours. She will show how her group developed a modified crypt assay to assess acute toxicity on bowel surrounding the bladder and have developed a method using the small animal radiation research platform to assess late bowel toxicity. E. Deutsch will give examples of clinical failures, that were partly due to inappropriate preclinical modelling. He will show how the modelling of the differential index is challenging because of its organ specific nature and kinetics and, will discuss possible integration of the immune component of normal tissue response into the models.
