Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
Treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancer remains a challenge because of the head and neck complex anatomy and the tumor invasion to the adjacent organs and/or metastases to the cervical nodes. Postoperative irradiation or concurrent chemoradiation may lead to damage of radiosensitive structures such as the salivary glands, mandible, cochlea, larynx, and pharyngeal muscles. Xerostomia,...
متن کاملImage-guided conformal radiation therapy planning and delivery for non-small-cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Our understanding of both the importance of local control for survival of patients with unresectable lung cancer and the inadequacy of conventional radiation therapy (RT) to provide this local control has undergone marked changes in the past 2 decades. METHODS A review was conducted of recent studies and meta-analyses in the literature that have convincingly demonstrated the value ...
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 کاملTreatment Planning for Image-Guided Robotic Radiosurgery
Radiosurgery is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused beams of radiation to destroy brain tumors. Treatment planning for ra-diosurgery involves determining a series of beam conngurations that will destroy the tumor without damaging healthy tissue in the brain, particularly critical structures. A new image-guided robotic radiosurgical system has been developed at Stanford University in a jo...
