Non-surgical treatment of lung cancer: personalised stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy has emerged as a standard treatment for medically inoperable stage I non-small-cell lung cancer and selected cases of lung metastasis. Techniques to freeze or limit tumour movement during treatment and image-guided radiation delivery are integral to a successful stereotactic ablative treatment without overdose of surrounding normal structures. In this article, the practice in a local oncology institution will be used to illustrate the concept of personalised stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.

Clinical efficacy of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for lung metastases arising from colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND Limited data describe the prognosis after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for lung metastases arising from colorectal cancer. Thus, we evaluated treatment outcomes of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for those patients. METHODS The study involved patients received stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for one to three lung metastases arising from colorectal cancer at a single ins...
متن کاملTreatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer: surgery or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy?
The management of early-stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) has improved recently due to advances in surgical and radiation modalities. Minimally-invasive procedures like Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy decreases the morbidity of surgery, while the numerous methods of staging the mediastinum such as endobronchial and endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsies are helping t...

متن کاملLate tumor pseudoprogression followed by complete remission after lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy
Lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has recently become more common in the management of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and metastatic lung lesions who are not surgical candidates. By design, SABR is applied to small treatment volumes, using fewer but significantly higher dose fractions, and steep dose gradients. This treatment theoretically maximizes tu...
متن کاملFeasibility of Proton Transmission-Beam Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy versus Photon Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Lung Tumors: A Dosimetric and Feasibility Study
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy is being increasingly adopted in the treatment of lung tumors. The use of proton beam therapy can further reduce dose to normal structures. However, uncertainty exists in proton-based treatment plans, including range uncertainties, large sensitivity to position uncertainty, and calculation of dose deposition in heterogeneous areas. This study investigated the ...
