Carbon Ion Therapy for Early-Stage Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Carbon ion therapy is a type of radiotherapies that can deliver high-dose radiation to a tumor while minimizing the dose delivered to the organs at risk; this profile differs from that of photon radiotherapy. Moreover, carbon ions are classified as high-linear energy transfer radiation and are expected to be effective for even photon-resistant tumors. Recently, high-precision radiotherapy modal...
متن کاملInduction therapy for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer.
Data from adjuvant trials clearly indicate that one of the most important problems in patients with resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is compliance to chemotherapy. In the postoperative setting, significant comorbidities and incomplete recovery after surgery often make it difficult for patients to tolerate or comply with systemic therapy. Therefore, it may be preferable to deliver che...
متن کاملAdjuvant Chemotherapy for Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the developed world. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents 85% of cases of lung cancer, and patients have a poor 5-year survival rate. Approximately one third of NSCLC patients present with early-stage disease that is amenable to potentially curative resection and multimodality therapy. Several randomized trials now have co...
متن کاملStereotactic radiotherapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) represents a consolidated treatment option for patients with medically inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical evidence accumulated in the past decade supports its use as an alternative to surgery with comparable survival outcomes. Due to its limited toxicity, SBRT is also applicable to elderly patients with very poor baselin...
متن کاملCarbon-ion radiotherapy for patients with advanced stage non–small-cell lung cancer at multicenters
Carbon-ion radiation therapy (CIRT) for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been well studied to date. This paper aimed to analyze a retrospective multicenter survey for detecting problems with the use of CIRT for Stage II and III NSCLC (7th UICC TNM Staging System). Inclusion was restricted to patients with Stage II and III NSCLC who received CIRT from November 2003 to December...
