Life expectancy is no longer than 1聽year after diagnosis because of the typically advanced stage of disease. Treatment, which is typically inefficient, is administered with the intent to cure or avoid local complications. We report a case of a patient with non-small cell lung cancer presenting...
Lung cancer is one of the most common solid tumors to develop metastases to bone. The prognosis of patients with metastatic lung cancer to bones is short,usually less than 6 months. The treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and medical th...
urine and feces [3]. Virtually all malignant tumors can develop leptomeningeal metastases. Notably, the highest incidence of LM is observed in breast cancer (12–35%), lung cancer (10–26%), and melanoma (5–25%) [4,5]. The incidence and prevalence of LM may increase due to a combina...
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a more preferred treatment modality for radio-resistant lesions such as nonsmall cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. It is also more frequently used to treat the resection cavity of brain metastasis, particularly in patients with breast metastatic disease...

Higher rates of retreatment have been found among patients receiving single fraction radiotherapy, which is less of a concern among patients with limited life expectancy. The review also examined studies of hypofractionated radiotherapy for patients with symptomatic lung cancer, pelvic malignancies, and ...

As surgical techniques have developed, surgery has been found to play a crucial role in treating bone metastases from lung cancer. The primary goals of surgery are to alleviate and restore neurological function, reduce local pain from metastatic lesions, and control tumour progression. Surgery ...
Bonemetastasisis common and is one of the leading causes of complications in the natural history of cancer. The consequences ofbone metastasismay compromisequality of life, limit day-to-day activities, threaten life expectancy, and increase medical intervention and expenses. The complications of bone...
