Title of the research project
Use of patient-reported outcomes and accumulated dose for accurate quantification of the dose-outcome relationship in hypofractionated prostate cancer radiotherapy
Description

This project is focused on determining if patient-reported outcomes are better correlated with actual dose delivered than with planned dose in prostate cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.

The project will use daily cone-beam CT images to calculate the daily and total radiation dose delivered to patients, and the Opal app to collect their patient-reported outcomes.

Intraoperative analgesic treatment decisions based on the NOL index: contribution of a data-based approach to improve accuracy and relevance

Student member : Marzieh Ghiyasinasab

This research project is based on the analysis of massive data on the NOL index and other intraoperative clinical parameters used by anesthesiologists during surgery. These parameters help them make analgesic treatment decisions in a non-communicating patient under general anesthesia and in whom it is impossible to assess pain and analgesic needs by standard questionnaires performed on awake patients. 
First, the objective is to interpret the values of this index in relation to the decisions made by the clinician.
