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...

Feasibility 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...

Evaluation 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...

Ablation 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...
