In recent year, Deformable Image Registration (DIR) has become commercially available in the field of radiotherapy. DIR is an exciting and interesting technology for multi-modality image fusion, anatomic image segmentation, Four-dimensional (4D) dose accumulation and lung functional (ventilation) imaging. Furthermore, DIR is playing an important role in modern radiotherapy included Image-Guided...

PURPOSE To quantify the potential advantages of prone position breast radiotherapy in terms of the radiation exposure to out-of-field organs, particularly, the breast or the lung. Several dosimetric studies have been reported, based on commercial treatment planning software (TPS). These TPS approaches are not, however, adequate for characterizing out-of-field doses. In this work, relevant out-o...

Introduction:
 Spinal epidural abscess is a rare neurosurgical emergency that usually seen invasive interventions to the spinal region, trauma or infection. In our case, anteriorly located abscess, which caused by spontaneous esophageal rupture as complication of radiotherapy, described.
 Case report:
 A 60-year-old female patient was admitted department with complaints confusion...

Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is a low-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with rapid growth, early metastasis and sensitivity to radiotherapy chemotherapy. It highly recurrence rate. And there lacking effective treatment now. As an active research direction at present, anti-angiogenic drugs are not only widely used in non-small cell lung cancer other tumors, but also have certain effects small...

Lung cancer is the most frequent oncological disorder and has been main topic in congresses. There have countless changes diagnosis treatment, improvements diagnostic methods, more effective less invasive curative care systemic treatments (new drugs molecular targets). In whole therapeutic spectrum, radiotherapy plays a significant role at brain metastasis level are very relevant. Brain metasta...

Background: Surgery and radiotherapy are considered local therapies for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The present study aimed to select candidates for surgery as local therapy among patients with stage I or II SCLC, based on the eighth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer. Methods: Patients diagnosed with SCLC between 2004 and 2013 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology...

This survival analysis was conducted at Ubon Ratchathani Cancer Center to determine the prognostic factors for survival of patients with stage IIIA, stage IIIB, and stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated at the center between 1997-2001. The study sample included 210 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. Diagnosis and staging were defined employing the TNM system. The m...
