Introduction
The topics that we are concerned with include the fundamental principles of basic science of oncology, radiation physics, radiation biology and radiation therapy. We are conducting basic researches on experimental therapeutics to improve the efficacy of radiation therapy. Regarding radiation biology, we have done basic research on the sensitizing effect of several targeting agents for ionizing radiation in terms of in vitro and in vivo. As to radiation physics, our main concern is IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) and IGRT (Image guided radiation therapy). To find and improve new techniques for IMRT and IGRT, we are conducting various phantom studies and dosimetry. Regarding clinical radiation oncology, we are carrying out several randomized clinical trials, analyzing registration techniques of various imaging modalities (CT, MR, and PET), and searching new clinical techniques imported from biology and physics to improve the results of our clinical data.​
