Radiation therapy must take into account tumor motion. Indeed, during the treatment the target can move up to several centimeters. This could lead to an under dosage of the target or an over dosage of the Organs at Risk (OARs). For classic treamtment the motion is...

Pancreatic cancer is a disease with a poor prognosis that progresses very rapidly after detection to metastatic spread. At detection, the primary tumour may be associated with a so-called micro-metastatic disease which, because it is microscopic, goes unnoticed with...
