The data integration capabilities of HISP will enable researchers from different domains to search

across a large quantity of disease and treatment related data. Semantic annotation ensures that the

original meaning of the data is preserved and the view on the data can be adjusted to the user's domain.

The data sharing capabilities of HISP will allow clinicians to exchange patient data in a standardised

and secure way. This will facilitate cross-border patient referral in a multi-lingual environment with

different legal frameworks.

RTDB extends HISP by providing a prediction model for treatment outcomes in function of the

patients' characteristics (clinical, morphological, genetic, molecular data) and the treatment modalities.

The results of RTDB will yield indication for hadron therapy of rare tumours. This may serve as a

treatment decision support system in the future.

e-mail: [email protected] Sharing information is a key aspect for the delivery of efficient health care and the gateway to new knowledge about disease and its treatment. At present there is no platform connecting people, information and research across the hadron therapy community in Europe. Within the PARTNER FP7 project we will build a Hadron Therapy Information Sharing Platform (HISP) and a rare tumour database (RTDB) using collaborative grid technology. The HISP conceptual architecture consists of a common access point to heterogeneous data sources using secure grid services. RTDB will access HISP to provide a view on rare tumours. HISP will give researchers and clinicians a tool for medical data sharing, clinical analyses and epidemiological studies while RTDB will support modeling of cancer treatment outcome and indications for hadron therapy. Our next steps are basic grid components’ installation within the PartnerVO.eu virtual organization (VO) and defining the security policies, as well as tools for semantic data integration.

About PARTNER:

The Particle Training Network for European Radiotherapy (PARTNER, http://partner.web.cern.ch) is an interdisciplinary, multinational initiative which had been established in response to the critical need for reinforcing research in hadron therapy and the training of professionals in this emerging field. Work Packages 22 and 23 of PARTNER address the need for an ITC infrastructure facilitating information sharing and processing among the emerging hadron therapy centres in Europe. Vassiliki Kanellopoulos, Faustin Roman and Daniel Abler work as Early Stage Researchers at CERN in close collaboration with the Universities of Surrey, Valencia and Oxford, respectively.
