Stereotactic body radiation therapy for centrally-located lung tumors
The application of high-dose irradiation to centrally-located lung tumors is generally considered to be of high risk in causing bronchial injury. The aim of the present retrospective study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with centrally-located lung tumors. In total, 28 patients who underwent SBRT for lung tumors within 2 cm o...
متن کاملRobotic stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver-limited malignant tumors
INTRODUCTION Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is rapidly gaining favor as a new treatment modality for malignant liver tumors. Most of the studies have recruited patients with disseminated disease originating from the liver. This study focuses on disease limited to the liver. AIM To perform a retrospective analysis of all patients with liver tumors treated by robotic stereotactic body ra...

METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty-four medically inoperable lung cancer patients with tumors near the mediastinum were treated using the Accuray CyberKnife system (Accuray, ...
متن کاملStereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Song and colleagues deliver a thorough and fair review of the initial clinical investigations of a new paradigm in radiotherapy most recently called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).[1] Oncology observers may take exception with the use of the designation “new paradigm.” After all, from a tumor control point of view, skeptics might say, “radiotherapy is radiotherapy.” Recent advances ...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiation therapy.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy constitutes an emerging therapeutic paradigm. These treatments are unique relative to the large body of experience with conventional fractionated radiotherapy. On the basis of the treatment principles of intracranial stereotactic radiation combined with enhancements associated with immobilization and imaging, the role of extracranial treatment continues to ev...
