Salvage SBRT for Previously Irradiated Lung Cancer
Purpose: Patients with locally recurrent lung cancer after definitive radiation therapy pose a challenge in management. Surgery is often not an option and chemotherapy offers poor long-term local control. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) was investigated in an attempt to salvage locally recurrent lung cancer. Materials and Methods: From March, 2009 to January, 2010, 8 patients who had prev...
متن کاملStereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for lung cancer patients previously treated with conventional radiotherapy: a review
Lung cancer continues to be one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide and is the leading cause of death in both men and women. Presently, local control rates are quite poor. Improvements in imaging and radiation treatment delivery systems however have provided radiation oncologists with new tools to better target these tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is one such techni...
متن کاملAdjuvant stereotactic body radiotherapy±cetuximab following salvage surgery in previously irradiated head and neck cancer.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Locoregional recurrence remains the primary failure pattern following salvage surgery for previously irradiated head and neck cancer; randomized trials have suggested a complimentary role for adjuvant chemotherapy and conventional reirradiation at the expense of significant increases in toxicity. We aimed to identify if stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) ± cetuximab imp...
متن کاملGefitinib (ZD1839) monotherapy as a salvage regimen for previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE A worldwide compassionate-use program has enabled >42,000 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to receive gefitinib treatment. Here we report the outcome of gefitinib therapy in patients who enrolled in the "Iressa" Expanded Access Program at the Samsung Medical Center. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who had progressed after prior s...
متن کاملAdaptive Stereotactic-body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Planning for Lung Cancer Significance and Innovation: Tumor shrinkage during SBRT of lung cancer
Introduction: SBRT is an emerging radiotherapy technique for treating early-stage non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) or oligometastatic lesions to the lung [3, 4]. Significant tumor shrinkage has been observed in some patients during the course of SBRT [1, 2]. Adaptive planning has the potential to reduce radiation dose to organs of risk (OARs), and further escalate radiation dose to the tumor...
