Pre-radiotherapy FDG PET predicts radiation pneumonitis in lung cancer
BACKGROUND A retrospective analysis is performed to determine if pre-treatment [18 F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) image derived parameters can predict radiation pneumonitis (RP) clinical symptoms in lung cancer patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS We retrospectively studied 100 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent FDG P...
متن کاملFDG PET in the management of lung cancer
We describe a patient with newly diagnosed limy cancer. Staging was performed with CT and mediastinoscopy. FDG PET scan was performed and confirmed increased metabolic activity in the primary tumor as well as the hilar lymph node. Seven months after initial presentation, the patient was found to have two lytic lesions in the pelvis on plain radiograph. Hone scan was negative but PET demon...
متن کامل(18)F-FDG avid volumes on pre-radiotherapy FDG PET as boost target delineation in non-small cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND To investigate whether during/post-radiotherapy FDG uptake locations within tumors is likely identified using a pre-radiotherapy scan for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ultimately enabling confirm that a suitable metabolically active sub-volume pre-radiotherapy of the primary tumor for radiation boosting target. METHODS Patients with a pathologically proven inoperable stage II...

متن کاملCurcumin Mitigates Radiation-induced Lung Pneumonitis and Fibrosis in Rats
Radiation-induced lung injury is one of the most prominent factors that interfere with chest cancer radiotherapy, and poses a great threat to patients exposed to total body irradiation. Upregulation of pro-oxidant enzymes is one of the main mechanisms through which the late effects of ionizing radiation on lung injury can be exerted. Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are two important cytokines that...
