NIH grant awarded to Massachusetts General Hospital to study the effects of moderate dose radiotherapy on blood perfusion in liver cancer, aiming to optimize combination therapies.
Description
This project aims to quantitatively study how ionizing radiation can induce a transitory enhancement of blood perfusion in hepatic tumors, to set the ground for synergistic combinations with perfusion-guided therapies. Animal experimentation will determine optimal radiation doses and timing for therapy strategies.
