    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for predicting the treatment response of a cancer patient, using a tumour copy number profile for the patient. The method comprise analysing the copy number profile to assess whether the characteristics of at least one copy number feature are indicative of the presence of focal amplifications in the tumour genome, wherein the at least one copy number feature is selected from: copy number change-point, segment size and segment copy number. The patient is predicted as being likely to be resistant to treatment with an agent that induces the formation of micronuclei (e.g. doxorubicin) if the characteristics of the at least one copy number features are indicative of the presence of focal amplifications in the tumour genome. Also provided a related methods and systems.

    Abstract: We describe a method and a computer system for analysing a radiation treatment plan using a dose of flash radiation to irradiate a volume within a patient and a radiation treatment system using the same. The computer system comprises a processor which is configured to obtain oxygen pressure information for the volume to be irradiated; obtain parameters from a patient treatment plan; input the obtained oxygen pressure information and parameters in to a model which predicts complex damage within the irradiated volume caused by the dose of flash radiation; output a prediction, using the model, of the complex damage caused within the volume by the dose of flash radiation; and quantify, using the prediction, a level of damage to healthy tissue within the irradiated volume. Complex damage is damage which is more complex than a double strand break within DNA in patient tissue and the model is a function of energy of particles within the radiation and oxygen pressure which varies with time.
