Lung SBRT through Radiobiology

Purpose: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as a standard treatment modality for medically inoperable early-stage lung cancer patients. The aim of this paper is to calculate radiobiological parameters for a sample of 39 patients who underwent lung SBRT. Materials and Methods: For SBRT, a typical regimen of 50 Gy in 4 5 fractions results in local tumor control rates around 99...

Salvage SBRT for Previously Irradiated Lung Cancer

Purpose: Patients with locally recurrent lung cancer after definitive radiation therapy pose a challenge in management. Surgery is often not an option and chemotherapy offers poor long-term local control. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) was investigated in an attempt to salvage locally recurrent lung cancer. Materials and Methods: From March, 2009 to January, 2010, 8 patients who had prev...

Adaptive Stereotactic-body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Planning for Lung Cancer Significance and Innovation: Tumor shrinkage during SBRT of lung cancer

Introduction: SBRT is an emerging radiotherapy technique for treating early-stage non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) or oligometastatic lesions to the lung [3, 4]. Significant tumor shrinkage has been observed in some patients during the course of SBRT [1, 2]. Adaptive planning has the potential to reduce radiation dose to organs of risk (OARs), and further escalate radiation dose to the tumor...
