A Technical Framework for Combining Multi-parametric Imaging With Advanced Modelling in Personalized Radiotherapy
The study consists in the retrospective and prospective collection of imaging data (along with clinical information related to treatment) of skull-base chordoma patients treated with particle therapy, to derive imaging biomarkers which, integrated with advanced mathematical models, will allow predicting treatment outcome on a multi-scale basis.
• Patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of chordoma of the skull base
• Particle therapy with curative intent
• Karnofsky Performance status greater than or equal to 60
• Patients with macroscopic disease detectable at pre-radiotherapy imaging
• Patients undergoing PT with standardized treatment procedures
• Patients who have signed the written informed consent for research
