UPLIFT proposes fundamental research that will bring forward a new era of more accurate, more patient-centric, and highly personalized RT. Increased patient comfort coupled with anatomical advantages, such as reduced breathing motion, provided by the upright position, will improve patient quality of life after therapy. Imaging solutions built within UPLIFT will enable to control anatomical differences compared to supine or prone patient positioning and enable highly accurate dose delivery. Reduced footprint and cost of RT machines as made possible with the upRT solutions generated by UPLIFT will not only benefit European RT, but will globally increase availability of advanced RT techniques, especially in low- and middle-income countries. No other European network currently can provide this level of upRT infrastructure and expertise, making UPLIFT the key to promote upRT as the future solution for better patient care.
