The overall aim of the CRUK RadNet Glasgow Centre is to understand the causes of resistance to radiotherapy, identify biomarkers that identify patients at highest risk of recurrence after radical radiotherapy, and maximise the chance of cure by intensifying treatment using novel technological and biological strategies.
