Factors predicting radiation pneumonitis in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer
PURPOSE Thoracic radiotherapy is a major treatment modality of stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The normal lung tissue is sensitive to radiation and radiation pneumonitis is the most important dose-limiting complication of thoracic radiation therapy. This study was performed to identify the clinical and dosimetric parameters related to the risk of radiation pneumonitis after definitive rad...
متن کاملDose-volumetric parameters and prediction of severe acute esophagitis in patients with locally-advanced non small-cell lung cancer treated with neoadjuvant concurrent hyperfractionated-accelerated chemoradiotherapy
BACKGROUND To identify dose-volume parameters predictive for severity of acute esophagitis (CTC > grade 2) in locally-advanced non small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) patients treated with neoadjuvant concurrent hyperfractionated-accelerated chemoradiotherapy (HA-CRT) a retrospective analysis was performed. 88 patients were treated with HA-CRT followed by radical surgery. Predictive power of abso...
متن کاملDose escalation with stereotactic body radiation therapy boost for locally advanced non small cell lung cancer
INTRODUCTION Low survival outcomes have been reported for the treatment of locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) with the standard of care treatment of concurrent chemoradiation (cCRT). We present our experience of dose escalation using stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) following conventional cCRT for patients with LA-NSCLC. METHODS Sixteen patients with a median age of 6...
متن کاملNon-small cell lung cancer and CHART (continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy)--where do we stand?
This paper reviews the use of hyperfractionated and/or accelerated radiation therapy in the curative treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, and explains the scientific rationale behind the development of these regimes. The indications, practicalities and economics of introducing them routinely are addressed. Novel radiotherapy techniques are further discussed in the context of current develop...
متن کاملHyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy in combination with weekly cisplatin for locally advanced head and neck cancer.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and efficacy of hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (HFRCB) combined with simultaneous chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin (CDDP) in locally advanced inoperable head and neck cancer. METHODS From August 1999 to December 2002, 37 patients (median age, 59 years) with Union Internationale Contre le Cancer stage III (n = ...
