A growing understanding of the multiple genetic and environmental pathways that contribute to the development of cancer is leading to the concept of a personalized approach to cancer therapy and prevention. This requires techniques to characterize patient and tumor factors that will drive specific targeted interventions and measure their effectiveness. Biomedical imaging now offers the opportunity to characterize tumor anatomy, physiology, and molecular biology in unprecedented ways. The challenge is to harness this technology to develop quantitative approaches to diagnosis that will support the development and application of targeted treatments and preventive interventions. Since its inception, ACRIN has developed and implemented multicenter clinical trials to establish the effectiveness of imaging in the detection, characterization and monitoring of cancer. Working with its biostatistics center at Brown University, ACRIN has assembled a unique organization of hundreds of clinical imaging specialists, other clinicians, and non-physician researchers at more than a hundred institutions nationally and internationally working collaboratively with the broader cancer research community dedicated to cancer imaging research. Over the next grant cycle, ACRIN proposes 3 major scientific objective related to the theme of personalized cancer care: 1. targeted surveillance of at-risk populations; 2.characterization of cancer in order to drive targeted therapy; and 3. development of imaging-based predictive and prognostic biomarkers of response to targeted treatment. Through its continued leadership in the imaging community, ACRIN will play a pivotal role in the advancement of cancer detection and therapy. ACRIN will work to discover ways for imaging to improve cancer care. This includes determining the optimal methods to detect cancer early in order to provide the best opportunity for cure, and establishing techniques to characterize cancer and its response to treatment in order to choose the most appropriate therapy.

越来越了解有助于多种遗传和环境途径 癌症的发展导致了一种个性化的癌症治疗方法的概念和 预防。这需要技术来表征患者和肿瘤因素的特定因素 有针对性的干预措施并衡量其有效性。生物医学成像现在提供了机会 以前所未有的方式表征肿瘤解剖学，生理和分子生物学。挑战是 利用这项技术开发定量的诊断方法，以支持开发 以及针对性治疗和预防干预措施的应用。自成立以来，Acrin拥有 开发和实施了多中心临床试验，以确定成像在 癌症的检测，表征和监测。与布朗的生物统计学中心合作 Acrin大学组成了一个由数百个临床成像专家组成的独特组织，其他 临床医生和非物理学家研究人员在国内和国际上有一百多个机构 与致力于癌症成像研究的更广泛的癌症研究界合作。 在下一个赠款周期中，Acrin提出了与个性化主题相关的3个主要科学目标 癌症护理：1。对处于危险人群的目标监视； 2.癌症特征以驱动 靶向治疗；和3。开发基于成像的预测性和预后生物标志物的反应 有针对性的治疗。通过其在成像社区的持续领导，Acrin将发挥关键作用 在癌症检测和治疗的发展中的作用。 Acrin将努力发现成像改善癌症护理的方法。这包括确定最佳 尽早检测癌症的方法，以提供最好的治愈机会和建立技术 表征癌症及其对治疗的反应以选择最合适的疗法。
