Title: Combining genomics with MR imaging to improve radiation treatment of cervical cancer
Summary
Our research group works with finding molecular markers of radiotherapy resistance. To translate genomics into the clinic, it might be beneficial to combine it with imaging, which already is an important part of the treatment planning. This talk will show how to use the complementary information we get from functional imaging and gene expression of cervical cancer to:
- Improve dose planning in radiation treatment
- Develop a genomic test for predicting hypoxia
- Examine DNA methylation to understand the aggressive phenotype of hypoxia
