We also assessed hypofractionation as a possible alternative option for more severe patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-two patients were included for hemostatic radiatio...
متن کاملAccelerated hypofractionated radiation therapy compared to conventionally fractionated radiation therapy for the treatment of inoperable non-small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND While conventionally fractionated radiation therapy alone is an acceptable option for poor prognostic patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, we hypothesized that accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy will have similar efficacy without increasing toxicity. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 300 patients diagnosed with stage III NSCLC treated between 1993 and 2009. ...
