Biologically Adapted Radiotherapy

• adaptation by patient-individual biological/functional feedback • tumor: changes in perfusion, hypoxic areas/re-oxigenation, tumor cell metabolism • early predictive discrimination between ‘responders’ and ‘non-reponders’ • normal tissues: e.g. lung perfusion changes, early detection of potential radiation-induced toxicity
