First clinical implementation of audiovisual biofeedback in liver cancer stereotactic body radiation therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case report details a clinical trial's first recruited liver cancer patient who underwent a course of stereotactic body radiation therapy treatment utilising audiovisual biofeedback breathing guidance. Breathing motion results for both abdominal wall motion and tumour motion are included. Patient 1 demonstrated improved breathing motion regularity with audiovisual biofeedback. A training effect was also observed.

Consensus on Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Small-Sized Hepatocellular Carcinoma at the 7th Asia-Pacific Primary Liver Cancer Expert Meeting.
Background Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an advanced technique of external beam radiation therapy that delivers large ablative doses of radiation. In the past decade, many cancer centers have adopted SBRT as one mode of radically treating small-sized hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), based on encouraging clinical outcomes. SBRT thus seems reasonable as first-line treatment of inop...
متن کاملProstate-specific antigen kinetics after hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...
متن کاملImproved radiotherapy for primary and secondary liver cancer: stereotactic body radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND Radiation therapy for primary and secondary liver cancer has been limited due to dose-limiting radiation-associated liver injury. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) permits higher dose to tumors while minimizing radiation to uninvolved liver. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of SBRT for treating primary and secondary hepatic neoplasms. MATERIA...

AIMS To determine the feasibility and efficacy of 3-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy for isolated colorectal cancer liver metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with isolated inoperable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer with progression after salvage chemotherapy underwent stereotactic body radiation therapy. Follow-up was 7-49 months (median, 12). Six patients had a...
متن کاملThe evaluation of lung doses for radiation pneumonia risk in stereotactic body radiotherapy: A comparison of intensity modulated radiotherapy, intensity modulated arc therapy, cyberknife and helical tomotherapy
Background: Radiation Pneumonia (RP) is one of the most extensive side effects in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung cancer. SBRT are performed by means of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Intensity Modulated Arc Therapy (IMAT), CyberKnife (CK) or Helical Tomotherapy (HT) treatment methods. In this study, we performed a plan study to determine the plan parameter such as the M...
