The Erasmus MC Cancer Institute is searching for a postdoctoral researcher to develop and investigate advanced tools for instantaneous treatment plan generation for cancer patients using deep learning (INSTORAD project).
Radiotherapy for a cancer patient requires the development of a treatment plan, defining the individualized treatment unit settings that result in favorable dose distribution in the patient, balancing the probability of cure versus the development of radiation-induced complications. Currently, treatment plan generation is an inefficient time-consuming, and fragmented process.
This may result in suboptimal treatment plan quality, i.e. the patient could have received better treatment. With instantaneous treatment plan generation available, the workflow becomes more efficient, different trade-offs between cure and complications can be readily explored as well as other treatment options, thereby further personalizing the treatment. In addition, this process can also shorten patient waiting time before commencing treatment.
To enable such change in clinical practice, plans with high-quality dose distributions should be generated instantaneously.
