SUMMARY:The GHOST Project: Study of Late Toxicity of Radiotherapy Treatmen
 ts Through Simulation of Dose Deposition in Patients - Frederic Brochu (Ca
 mbridge)

DESCRIPTION:Radiation therapy is an important tool in the fight against ca
 ncer\, allowing the treatment of cancerous tumours beyond reach of traditi
 onal surgery. The successful use of external beam radiotherapy has led to 
 an increase of life expectancy of cancer patients\, and late toxicity effe
 cts associated to irradiation of healthy tissue are becoming more relevant
 . Late toxicity effects span from tumour growth to second cancer developme
 nt.\nThe GHOST project (www.ghost-project.org) aims to help evaluating the
  risk of expressing these effects by simulating dose depositions in the hu
 man body over the entire treatment. This seminar will give an overview of 
 the project and its current status.
