background: in treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by icru in report 24. the experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...
Introduction: Internal exposure to radon gas progeny can lead to serious biologic damages to the lung tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the absorbed dose by lung tissue due to the exposure from short-lived radioactive products of radon (222Rn) decay using Monte Carlo simulation. Material and Methods: A lung equivalent p...
Introduction Significant progress has been made in early detection and therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death. Better characterization of lung tumors will allow for individualized therapy. There is increasing evidence that hypoxia in tumors predicts poor outcome for many tumor types including lung malignancies, most notably...
As compared to conventional photon radiation heavy ions may offer specific therapeutic advantages in radiation oncology with respect to the higher relative biological effectiveness (RBE) at beam terminus. It has been demonstrated for heavy ion irradiation that the RBE in irradiated normal tissue, especially for acute effects is only slightly increased. However, since normal tissue reactivity, i...
background: radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. in canada, the health authorities have no access to comprehensive profile of the communities built over uranium-rich micro-geological settings. the present indoor radon monitoring guideline is unable to provide an accurate identification of health hazards due to discounting several parameters of housing characteristics....
The goal of radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is to improve the survival rate of patients without increasing treatment-related toxicity and to improve patients' quality of life. Several prospective randomized trials have demonstrated a survival advantage in combined modality treatment over radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone when a cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimen is u...
This selection from the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) focuses on the principles of radiation therapy (RT), which include the following: (1) general principles for early-stage, locally advanced, and advanced/metastatic NSCLC; (2) target volumes, prescription doses, and normal tissue dose constraints for early-stage, locally...
Malignant thymomas are rare epithelial neoplasms of the anterior superior mediastinum that are typically invasive in nature and have a higher risk of relapse that may ultimately lead to death. Here we report a case of an advanced malignant thymoma that was successfully treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection and subsequently with advanced and novel radiation therapy...
objective: the out-of-field/non-target effect is one of the most important phenomena of ionizing radiation that leads to molecular and cellular damage to distant non-irradiated tissues. the most important concern about this phenomenon is carcinogenesis many years after radiation treatment. in vivo mechanisms and consequences of this phenomenon are not known completely. therefore, this study aim...
