Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive form of lung cancer that often leads to brain metastases. Traditional treatment has largely relied on whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). However, concerns about neurocognitive side effects have led to the adoption of advanced techniques such ...
There are two kinds of radiation side effects: early and late. Early side effects, such asnauseaandfatigue, usually don’t last long. They may start during or right after treatment and last for several weeks after it ends, but then they get better. Late side effects, such as lung orhear...
20 In those with ILD and NSCLC, lung cancer is responsible for 50% of deaths.21 Nevertheless, the competing risk of death from ILD and higher rates of treatment-related toxicity in patients with ILD should be considered, and patients should be actively counseled on the pros and cons of ...
What is the care pathway for lung cancer? How long can a lung cancer patient live without treatment? What are the side effects of radiation for uterine cancer? What is stage 5 lung cancer? What is stage 3 lung cancer? What is stage 4 lung cancer?
Katie Keane, MD, highlights the evolving role of stereotactic body radiation therapy in the treatment of patients with stage I lung cancer, the utilization of immunotherapy with chemoradiation in stage III disease, and research evaluating radiation in th
This slideshow will tell you 10 things every young woman should know about breast cancer. What is Breast Cancer? Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, and it is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in women. (Lung cancer still kills almost 4 times as many wo...
Side Effects What to Expect What Is Radiation Therapy for Malignant Mesothelioma? Radiation for mesothelioma is a treatment using ionizing radiation. It consists of high-energy X-rays or particles. The goal is to damage the DNA of cancerous cells and kill them. This treatment can extend surv...
Cancer cells continue dying for weeks to months after radiation therapy ends. This delayed effect applies to healthy cells too, which can explain why some side effects take time to manifest. Rapidly dividing cells, such as those of the skin, bone marrow, and intestinal lining, are often the ...
Radiotherapy is one of the most effective approaches to achieve tumor control in cancer patients, although healthy tissue injury due to off-target radiation exposure can occur. In this study, we used a model of acute radiation injury to the lung, in the
