Feasibility of stereotactic body radiotherapy for locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer
SBRT was feasible for approximately half of the locally-advanced NSCLC patients we assessed and for these patients has the potential to reduce a 30 fraction course to 12 fractions. Using SBRT in this setting requires compromises in techniques and further compromises may allow SBRT in a greater proportion of patients.
متن کاملMultimodality treatment in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Prognosis in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is poor (five year survival rate of 5% [1]). Radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy (CT) and surgery (S), as single modality therapeutical approaches are unable to eradicate locoregional disease and to control systemic microscopic disease. Concurrent chemoradiation (CTRT) is at present time deemed to be the standard of care...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) followed by radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty nine patients were randomized to chemotherapy (group A) or radiotherapy alone (group B). The induction chemotherapy consists of cisplatin (80 mg/m2) day ...
متن کاملA Prospective Study Comparing Functional Imaging (18F-FDG PET) Versus Anatomical Imaging (Contrast Enhanced CT) in Dosimetric Planning for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
Objective(s): 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) is a well-used and established technique for lung cancer staging. Radiation therapy requires accurate target volume delineation, which is difficult in most cases due to coexisting atelectasis. The present study was performed to compare the 18F-FDG PET-CT with contrast enhanced computed tomogr...
متن کاملPersonalized Combined Modality Therapy for Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous disease, and we have embarked on an era where patients will benefit from individualized therapeutic strategies based on identifiable molecular characteristics of the tumor. The landmark studies demonstrating the importance of molecular characterization of tumors for NSCLC patients, the promising molecular pathways, and the p...
