Abstract
New possibilities in personalized medicine need to be complemented by clinical decision support systems as well as context-specific applications to be used in clinical routine. We aim to implement a shared technical backend for a large variety of applications in personalized head-and-neck cancer treatment. The infrastructure is conceptualized as a multi-purpose digital twin for cancer treatment. A set of prototypes of clinical applications demonstrates the feasibility of using digital twins to support multiple stages of the patient journey.
