Problems solved by technology

[0004] When treating a patient for neoplasia, physicians face the problem that if a patient requires multiple treatment regimens, it is time consuming to perform treatment planning for each of them
This can lead to longer periods of discomfort for the patient

Abstract

A system and method for planning a necrosis-inducing therapy and subsequent administration of a necrosis-targeting agent are described. The system takes into account the effect of necrosis-induction therapy as a basis for the biodistribution estimate of the necrosis- targeting agent. This interaction between the different calculation steps is essential for an accurate planning result. A computer-readable medium and use are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of treatment planning, and more particularly to combination therapy with necrosis-inducing therapy and necrosis-targeting agents. Background technique [0002] Local minimally invasive treatment options are an alternative to surgical resection in the treatment of locally confined neoplasia such as small tumors or cancerous metastases. Many of these methods, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cryotherapy, laser ablation, and microwave ablation (MWA), are currently underdeveloped. In these methods, the tissue containing the cancerous lesion is superheated or supercooled, resulting in the uncontrolled death of up to 100% of cells in the treated area (coagulation necrosis). [0003] Necrotic cells exhibit leaky membranes compared to normal or apoptotic cells. This fact is currently being exploited in the clinical trial phase by a biomolecular targeting mech...
