NIH Awards “Longitudinal Spatial-Nonspatial Decision Support for Competing Outcomes in Head and Neck Cancer Therapy”

Participants: G. Elisabeta Marai, Xinhua Zhang (UIC), Guadalupe Canahuate (UIA), Dave Fuller (MDACC)

Institutions: University of Illinois at Chicago, Electronic Visualization Laboratory; University of Iowa; University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center

National Institutes of Health: National Cancer Institute has awarded UIC funding to continue research in head and neck cancer therapy. UIC PI, EVL faculty and Computer Science associate professor Liz Marai in conjunction with co-PI Xinhua Zhang are joined by collaborators from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Dave Fuller, PI) and the University of Iowa (Guadalupe Canahuate, PI) to develop a longitudinal decision support tool to assist clinicians in selecting treatments that balance survival and side-effects responses to cancer therapy. The project will lead to better insights into the biological and therapeutic factors related to cancer survival and toxicity, allowing personalization of care at the individual level.
