Multimodality 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 کاملRadio(chemo)therapy in locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Definitive radiochemotherapy is the standard treatment for many patients with locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Treatment outcomes have improved over the last decades. Several treatment regimens have been shown effective and safe. This review summarises the results of significant studies between 1996 and 2015 on concomitant and sequential radiochemotherapy regimens and radiati...
متن کاملDosimetric comparisons of VMAT, IMRT and 3DCRT for locally advanced rectal cancer with simultaneous integrated boost
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the dosimetric differences among volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), fixed-field intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for the preoperative locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). METHODS Ten LARC patients treated in our department using the simultaneous escalate strategy were retrospec...
متن کاملThe Warburg Effect: How Does it Benefit Cancer Cells?
Cancer cells rewire their metabolism to promote growth, survival, proliferation, and long-term maintenance. The common feature of this altered metabolism is the increased glucose uptake and fermentation of glucose to lactate. This phenomenon is observed even in the presence of completely functioning mitochondria and, together, is known as the 'Warburg Effect'. The Warburg Effect has been docume...
