The focus of current cancer research in Lower Austria is on improved diagnostics and more targeted and personalised therapy of serious diseases. For example, a new high-tech project will be developed in Wiener Neustadt from 2022 in cooperation between MedAustron – Centre for Ion Therapy and Research, the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt and the Lower Austrian Provincial Health Agency with the Provincial Hospital Wiener Neustadt. MedAustron is one of only six centres worldwide that have protons as well as carbon ions available.
With the start of production of the particle accelerator “Zyklotron” in 2025 for therapeutic radiation also radionuclides can be produced shortly before use.
These are needed for treatment or for sectional imaging examinations – such as the nuclear medicine examination PET (positron emission tomography), where tumours and metastases can be made visible.
