The award supports research on metabolic imaging to monitor treatment response in aggressive anaplastic thyroid cancer, aiming to improve early detection of therapy effectiveness and resistance.
Description
This project aims to develop advanced imaging techniques to study metabolic changes in tumor cells induced by targeted therapies and T-cell immunotherapy for anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). The goal is to improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies by refining early indicators of treatment response or progression, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
