Towards FUS lung cancer ablation: the lung flooding process from a physiological and physical view point
Background/introduction Unilateral lung flooding replaces air with saline in lung parenchyma. It has been shown, that in flooded condition ultrasound guidance and HIFU ablation of central lung cancer tissue is feasible. The flooding process generates a saline-lung compound which is different than known parenchymal tissue. Complete understanding of the flooding process is essential for its imple...
متن کاملFeasibility of FUS lung cancer treatment using unilateral lung flooding
Background Lung is not considered for HIFU ablation so far. By replacing air with saline, therapeutic ultrasound could penetrate parenchyma and reach underlying cancer. Unilateral lung flooding is known for ultrasound guided thoracoscopic surgery. Lung cancer is prevalent in oncology and the most mortal cancer entity, its cure requires operability and results in loss of parenchyma. Whereby we w...
متن کاملEvaluation of Lung Density and Its Dosimetric Impact on Lung Cancer Radiotherapy: A Simulation Study
Background: The dosimetric parameters required in lung cancer radiation therapy are taken from a homogeneous water phantom; however, during treatment, the expected results are being affected because of its inhomogeneity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to quantify these deviations.Objective: The present study has been undertaken to find out inter- and intra- lung density variations and its dosi...
متن کاملAblation for metastatic lung cancer
Since first report of RFA in lung tumor in year 2000, RFA has been demonstrated to provide 80 to 90% complete ablation for tumors less than 2 cm, with decrease in efficacy for larger tumors. Percutaneous ablation is today a valid option for lung metastases in non surgical candidates with overall survival reported after RFA is in between 56 to 67% at 3 years. Such survival reported is comparable...
