1. An oncology monitoring system, comprising:
- a first plurality of radiation sensors configured to reside proximate a target tumor treatment site of a patient, wherein the sensors are configured to provide radiation data associated with an internally administered radioactive substance at the target tumor treatment site; and
a first portable receiver in communication with the plurality of sensors, the first receiver configured to obtain radiation data from the sensors at a plurality of different times, wherein the first receiver is in communication with a local and/or remote computer that tracks variation in the radiation data to provide tumor site information.

Abstract
Oncology monitoring systems include: (a) a first plurality of radiation sensors configured to reside proximate a target tumor treatment site of a patient, the sensors being configured to provide radiation data associated with the tumor treatment site; and (b) a first portable receiver in communication with the plurality of sensors. The receiver is configured to obtain radiation data from the sensors at a plurality of different times. The receiver is in communication with a local and/or remote computer that tracks variation in the radiation data to provide dynamic tumor site information.

11. A method of evaluating an oncology patient, comprising:
-
electronically obtaining radiation data proximate a tumor treatment site of a patient at a plurality of different times during at least one time period using a portable receiver while a patient is away from a clinical site, wherein the radiation data is associated with a radiolabeled substance administered to the patient; electronically monitoring variation in the obtained radiation data over the at least one time period; and evaluating a treatment strategy and/or the tumor treatment site based on the monitored radiation data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
