In this HIRO research focus high precision radiation oncology is integrated into curative
multimodal therapy concepts. In field of precision radiotherapy, the radiobiological impact of
novel particle therapy qualities i.e. proton, helium, carbon to oxygen ions developed at HIT are
investigated. This unique beam parameter space is utilized to identify strategies to eradicate
resistant tumor subpopulations such as hypoxic and stem-cell like cells and to explore their
impact on tumor-immune microenvironment communication. Towards broadening the
therapeutic window, investigation of normal tissue tolerance to multimodal therapies and their
effect on inflammatory response, organ dysfunction and ultimately development of fibrosis are
also of utmost significance. Inevitably, precision therapy requires precision diagnostic to stratify
or even personalize treatment. With a reverse translation approach, compendium imaging and
molecular diagnostics are developed to select patients most benefiting from designed
multimodal therapy strategies within a program. Overall, the mission of this research area is to
develop the next generation radiation oncology by integrating the rapidly evolving field of
cellular- and molecular biology into a multidisciplinary adaptive radiotherapy.
