Radiation oncology is an integral part of the multidisciplinary team caring for children with cancer. The primary goal of our committee is to enable the delivery of the safest dose of radiation therapy (RT) with the maximal potential for cure, and to minimize toxicity in children by delivering lower doses to normal tissues using advanced technologies like intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) and proton therapy. We provide mentorship for y ators and are actively involved in educating the global radiation oncology community. We are leaders in the effort to discover novel radiosensitizers, radioprotectors, and advanced RT technologies that could help improve outcomes of children with cancer.
放射肿瘤学是多学科团队治疗癌症儿童的一个组成部分。我们委员会的主要目标是通过使用调强放疗 (IMRT) 和质子治疗等先进技术,为儿童提供更低剂量的辐射治疗 (RT),从而在最大程度上治愈肿瘤的同时将毒性降至最低。我们为年轻医生提供指导,并积极参与教育全球放射肿瘤学界。我们在寻找新的放射增敏剂、放射保护剂和先进的 RT 技术方面处于领先地位,这些技术有可能帮助改善癌症儿童的治疗效果。
