Grant received in 2020
DCCC has funded 200,000 DKKK to the preparation of this national and multidisciplinary investigator-initiated study.
Patients with brain tumours are, among other options, treated with modern, high precision radiotherapy. Treatment with high precision radiotherapy is dependent on a very precise tumour mapping, so the radiation only impact, where it is beneficial. With the DCCC funding, researchers with international experience from all over Denmark, will collect available knowledge on brain tumour mapping with artificial intelligence, thus tumour mapping improves, become more accurate and reduces side effects. This project is a part of a larger, interdisciplinary initiative by Danish Neuro-Oncology Group (DNOG).
Study preparations are anchored in the coming research centre DCCC Brain Tumour Center and with participation from all four treatment facilities in Denmark and Danish Centre for Particle Therapy.
