Science Lung Cancer Diagnostic Imaging for Advanced Radiation Therapy of Lung Cancer Lung Cancer Staging
Diagnostic radiology of the chest and radiation therapy of lung tumors are both subject to rapid development. Close and efficient cooperation of engineers, scientists, and clinical personnel is necessary to integrate these into daily patient care. The German Cancer Research Center and Siemens Medical Solutions aim to turn this vision into reality. In the field of radiology, multislice computed ...
متن کاملStaging and imaging of small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been primarily classified as limited or extensive, with limited stage confined to the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes. In the future, the TNM staging system should be integrated into the classification of SCLC. The appropriate staging work-up for patients with SCLC has traditionally included contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest a...

متن کاملImaging for staging and management of thyroid cancer
The management of thyroid cancer has been controversial and, as a result, the routine use of imaging in this disease, especially for pre-operative staging, has lagged behind other head and neck cancers. However, as more is known about the natural history of thyroid cancer, the role of imaging is becoming more established. This review focuses on how imaging now influences the staging and managem...
متن کاملStaging of Lung Cancer
The morphology of the tumor and the anatomic extent of the disease are important factors influencing treatment selection and ultimately survival for patients with lung cancer. The American Joint Committee TNM system provides a method for consistent reproducible description of the primary tumor (T), the status of the regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastasis (M)...
