An apparatus, method, system, computer-readable medium and use for
individual patient therapy planning of diseases such as cancer for
different therapy modalities, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy
is provided. A new aspect of the invention is that the degree of bone
marrow depression of the patient is related to the count of immature
blood platelets, which are measured before each treatment. Some
embodiments of the invention provide an advantage allowing reducing the
level of uncertainty in the prediction of the risk of bone marrow
depression, and thus enabling to safely improve the therapy effect by an
increase of the radiation dosage and/or chemical dosage to the individual
patient while the risk for bone marrow depression is minimized.
