SYMPOSIUMWITH PROFFERED PAPERS
Combining tumour and normal tissue models
08:45 - 10:00 | LEHAR 4
In this session, A. Kiltie will show that in the process of assessment of the efficacy of
drugs as radio sensitising agents, it is important to determine their effects on normal
tissues as well as tumours. She will show how her group developed a modified
crypt assay to assess acute toxicity on bowel surrounding the bladder and have
developed a method using the small animal radiation research platform to assess
late bowel toxicity. E. Deutsch will give examples of clinical failures, that were partly
due to inappropriate preclinical modelling. He will show how the modelling of the
differential index is challenging because of its organ specific nature and kinetics and,
will discuss possible integration of the immune component of normal tissue response
into the models.
