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 کاملPostoperative Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States. Local recurrence after surgery for operable disease has long been recognized as a hindrance to long-term survival. Postoperative radiation therapy was logically explored as a means to improve local control and survival. Multiple randomized trials were conducted, many showing improved local control, but none demonstrated ...
متن کاملSkin Reaction in Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer
Introduction The first medical intervention for many breast cancer patients is breast conserving surgery (BCS) and/or modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Most of these patients undergo radiation therapy, following surgery. The most common side-effect of breast radiotherapy is skin damage. In the present study, the severity of acute skin changes and the underlying causes were investigated in pati...
متن کاملImproving radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer: molecular imaging and a team-based approach
The successful integration of molecular imaging and radiation therapy has been shown to significantly impact the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The collaboration of multidisciplinary team members, including radiation oncologists, radiation therapists, nuclear medicine physicians and physicists, has enabled PET/CT to be utilised for routine use throughout the rad...
متن کاملVolumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer: Literature Review
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric intensity-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are two commonly used modalities to treat lung cancer. VMAT has established increasing interest in treating cancer due to shorter treatment delivery time and less number of monitor units (MUs). The main purpose of this article was to review the relevant current literature on planning studies for l...
