Samen verder: Multidisc iplinair onderzoek en moleculaire beeldvorming in de longoncologie
Lung cancer treatment is becoming increasingly complex. New form s of immunotherapy, targeted agents, and radiation are increasingly b eing combined. Professor of Multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Idris Bahce is investigating how such multimodal therapies can enhance eac h other and for which patients this combination truly works. Molecula r imaging plays a supporting role in this process: PET scans help us better understand how tumors and immune cells respond to treatment.
Bahce collaborates with a broad network of disciplines, from pul monologists to radiation therapists, lung surgeons, nuclear medicine physicians, and pathologists, on studies in which treatment and imagi ng go hand in hand. In his inaugural lecture, he will demonstrate how close collaboration between disciplines can lead to better, more per sonalized care for people with lung cancer.
