The ICR and our partner hospital, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, have a long track record of practice-changing advances in radiotherapy.<\/p>\n

We helped to pioneer image-guided radiation therapy, and a technique called intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), which shapes the radiation beam to the outline of tumours.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re going even further, with commitments under our research strategy\u00a0to do the innovative physics needed to target radiation precisely, and to test out enhanced forms of precision radiotherapy in clinical trials.<\/p>\n

The aim is to create new treatments that target tumours with pinpoint accuracy, and minimise the side-effects caused by damage to healthy tissue.<\/p>\n

The installation by the ICR and The Royal Marsden of one of the world\u2019s most advanced radiotherapy machines, the MR Linac, gives us the capability to shape a radiotherapy beam to a tumour in real time, even as it moves in the body \u2013 for example, as a patient breathes.<\/p>\n

At the same time, scientists in the ICR\u2019s Centre for Cancer Imaging\u00a0are pushing boundaries with the very latest in single and combined imaging technologies to visualise tumours precisely, and study their behaviour, physiology and growth.<\/p>\n

Our molecular imaging capabilities are a vital tool in preclinical drug discovery\u00a0and development. By using imaging in animal studies we can, for example, accurately evaluate whether a cancer drug candidate is hitting its target and having the predicted effect.<\/p>\n

In future, doctors could use this information to see if tumours are responding to cancer treatments over time, and to adapt treatment accordingly \u2013 without the need for the patient to undergo multiple, uncomfortable biopsies.<\/p>\n
