My lab's mission is to redefine Standard Radiotherapy
As radiation oncologists, we want to treat cancer patients with high precision radiotherapy. The UMC Utrecht has the right team and right machinery for this (3x MRI-linac, 10x CT-linac). My lab's goal is to design the best cancer treatment for each patient. Some patients want to live as long as possible regardless of treatment side effects, others want quality of life. To find balance is key.
The UMC Utrecht department of Radiation Oncology is a terrific place to do clinical research, as it is even the birthplace of the MRI-linac. Next, the Radiation Oncology department harbours 2 1.5T MRI systems, a 3.0T MRI, a 7.0T MRI and a MRI/PET scanner.
Joost Verhoeff subspecialized in treatment of brain tumors, lung cancer and cardiac SBRT. About half of his time he spends on research as associate professor.
Brain tumors:
- Increasing quality of life by compact but extremely precise focused radiation treatment
- Increasing overall survival by combining better treatment modalities
- Principal Investigator of ZonMW funded GOLD trial (dutch info), 30x2Gy+TMZ versus 6x6Gy+TMZ for primary GBM (responsible researcher drs. Arthur van der Boog)
- Principal Investigator of KWF funded RISinG trial (dutch info), 10x3.5Gy versus 4x7.5Gy for recurrent GBM (responsible researcher drs. Arthur van der Boog)
Brain metastases:
- Finding best treatments for each specific patient: personalized medicine.
- Increasing quality of life by incorporating MR-guided treatment post operative (MRI-linac)
- Coimbra brain metastasis prospective cohort (website) (responsible researcher drs. Fia Cialdella)
Lung cancer:
- Better predicting patient survival and toxicity by smart analyses
- Increasing quality of life by incorporating MR-guided treatment (MR-Linac)
- U-color prospective cohort, for all lung cancer patients that receive radiotherapy
Cardiac Ablative SBRT:
- In the lead of a consortium of 30 European hospitals we develop strategies to treat Ventricular Tachycardia in the STOPSTORM.eu framework (Principal Investigator, EU H2020 grant).
