Optimal timing of radiotherapy with alternating/sequential radio-chemotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the optimal timing of radiotherapy with alternating/sequential radio-chemotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). METHODS 91 patients with LS-SCLC were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups according to the number of chemotherapy cycles before radiotherapy. If the patient received radiotherapy after 3 cycles or fewer cycles of chemot...
متن کاملTriage of Limited Versus Extensive Disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan in Small Cell lung Cancer
Objective(s): Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma, which accounts for 10-15% of pulmonary cancers and exhibits early metastatic spread. This study aimed to determine the added value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging of SCLC, compared to the conventional computed tomography (CT) scan and its potential role as a prognosticat...
متن کاملHigh-Dose Involved Field Radiotherapy and Concurrent Chemotherapy for Limited-Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer
Purpose: We evaluated the effect of high dose involved field radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy for treating patients with limited disease, small cell lung cancer. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 37 patients who had a limited stage of small cell lung cancer. All the patients were treated with induction chemotherapy followed by definitive radiotherapy and concurre...
متن کاملRadiotherapy for small-cell lung cancer.
The role of radiation therapy in the primary management of small cell lung cancer is very much a matter of current debate. Its value in palliative treatment is unquestioned. Disappointment in the apparent inability to demonstrate improvement in survival in some randomized studies as a result of locoregional radiotherapy and prophylactic cranial irradiation may be due to the use of inappropriate...
متن کاملThe role of radiotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Most patients who receive a diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have advanced disease and are not curable with surgery. Developments in the technology of radiation therapy (RT) have contributed to the broad utility of this treatment modality in both a curative and palliative capacity. Many patients at all stages, including those who are medically inoperable, may benefit from RT. Loc...
