[RADIATION ONCOLOGY: CONTEXT IN CANCER MEDICINE AND CLINICAL TRASLATIONAL RESEARCH MODELS]
Abstract:
Radiation Oncology is a clinical speciality supported by technological development including biomedical imaging, ionizing radiation generators and radiobiology of cancer and normal tissues. Translational research and development opportunities incorporate clinical models available in hospital practice with academic interest in health care innovative approaches. Examples of mature research projects in translational radiation oncology are described: a) molecular imaging and expression for radioresponse assessment; b) oligorecurrent cancer results after rescue surgery and intensified radiotherapy; c) stereotactic surgical navigation for intraoperative radiotherapy.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
