Image-guided radiotherapy platform using single nodule conditional lung cancer mouse models
Close resemblance of murine and human trials is essential to achieve the best predictive value of animal-based translational cancer research. Kras-driven genetically engineered mouse models of non-small-cell lung cancer faithfully predict the response of human lung cancers to systemic chemotherapy. Owing to development of multifocal disease, however, these models have not been usable in studies...
متن کاملFluoroscopic tumor tracking for image-guided lung cancer radiotherapy.
Accurate lung tumor tracking in real time is a keystone to image-guided radiotherapy of lung cancers. Existing lung tumor tracking approaches can be roughly grouped into three categories: (1) deriving tumor position from external surrogates; (2) tracking implanted fiducial markers fluoroscopically or electromagnetically; (3) fluoroscopically tracking lung tumor without implanted fiducial marker...
متن کاملA fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study
Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...
متن کاملImage-guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer using transperineal ultrasound
During a course of external beam radiotherapy the prostate gland moves both between radiotherapy fractions (interfractional motion) and during treatment (intrafractional motion). Some of this motion is related to changes in rectal and bladder filling, and movements are more marked in the antero-posterior direction as a result of rectal filling variability, compared to laterally and superoinferi...
متن کاملImage - guided radiotherapy for esophageal cancer
Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common malignancy worldwide, with more than 480,000 new patients diagnosed annually. The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is increasing, whereas the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma has not changed. According to the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) statistics, the 5-year survival rate for esophageal carcinoma based on stage at diag...
