323 Radiobiology, Clinical Radiation Oncology Applied Radiation Biology and Radiotherapy Coordinated Research Projects of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Oleg Belyakov, Elena Fidarova, Kirsten Hopkins, Rajiv Prasad, Eduardo Zubizarreta International Atomic Energy Agency
Introduction The Biology and Radiotherapy (ARBR) Section of the Division of Human Health at the Department Nuclear Sciences Applications performs a Coordinated Projects (CRPs). Applied Radiation of and IAEA of number Research of IAEA publication on was used as the manual for the CRP trial
Radiation Oncology CRPs Randomized Phase III Clinical Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Versus Transarterial Chemoembolization in HCC - Hepatocellular Carcinoma (2014-2018), which equivalence/superiority of SBRT given upfront over TACE in terms of any disease progression in previously untreated patients with HCC; Evidence-Based Assessment of Radiotherapy Demand and Quality of Radiotherapy Services (2014-2017), this project estimates the optimal and actual radiotherapy utilization (RTU) rates in developing countries using an evidence-based methodology; Radiation Therapy Planning of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer based on PET/CT (2014-2018) was set to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with NSCLC in Member States (MS) by the use of PET/CT in radiation therapy planning. was designed to demonstrate
Radiation Biology CRPs Strengthening of Biological dosimetry in IAEA Member States: Improvement techniques and intensification of collaboration and networking among the different institutes (2012-2016); Safety and Optimisation Sterilisation in Tissue Banking: Studies on Functional Properties Grafts (2010-2015); Instructive Surfaces and Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Using Radiation (2014-2018). of current 3D heart tissue scaffold (Prof Ratner) of Radiation of Irradiated Tissue Technology MatTek Artificial human skin (Prof Belyakov)
