Interfractional Variations of Tumor Centroid Position and Tumor Regression during Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Lung Tumor
PURPOSE To determine interfractional changes of lung tumor centroid position and tumor regression during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS 34 patients were treated by SBRT in 4-5 fractions to a median dose of 50 Gy. The CT scans acquired for verification were registered with simulation CT scans. The gross target volume (GTV) was contoured on all verification CT...
متن کاملRespiratory Gating during Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer Reduces Tumor Position Variability
PURPOSE We evaluated the effects of respiratory gating on treatment accuracy in lung cancer patients undergoing lung stereotactic body radiotherapy by using electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study population consisted of 30 lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (48 Gy/4 fractions/4 to 9 days). Of these, 14 were treated with- (...
متن کاملThe impact of abdominal compression on outcome in patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy for primary lung cancer
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of abdominal compression (AC) on outcome in patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for primary lung cancer. We retrospectively reviewed data for 47 patients with histologically proven non-small cell lung cancer and lung tumour motion ≥ 8 mm treated with SBRT. Setup error was corrected based on bony structure. The differences ...
متن کاملStereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for lung cancer.
Lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a method of delivering high 'ablative' doses of radiotherapy to tumours in the lung. It was developed at the Karolinska Institute in the early 1990s using the methods established in cranial radiosurgery with multiple beams prescribed to an isodose and using a custom designed stereotactic body frame for immobilisation. Since then, aligned with th...
متن کاملLung tumor motion change during stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT): an evaluation using MRI
The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in lung tumor internal target volume during stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment (SBRT) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ten lung cancer patients (13 tumors) undergoing SBRT (48 Gy over four consecutive days) were evaluated. Each patient underwent three lung MRI evaluations: before SBRT (MRI-1), after fraction 3 of SBRT (MRI-3), and...
