It also seems that in a lower grade, pulmonary emphysema has related to the development of RP in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients [46, 47]. 3. Age and sex: Women have a lower lung volume than men, yet in most studies, the association with RP risk has not been ...
Georgia Health Sciences University scientists have devised a way to reduce lung cancer cells' ability to repair the lethal double-strand DNA breaks caused byradiationtherapy. "Radiation is a great therapy – the problem is the side effects," said Dr. William S. Dynan, biochemist and Associate ...
Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an advanced type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer tumors. The goal of IMRT is to precisely target the tumor while avoiding or reducing damage to healthy tissues and providing a better quality of life for the patient by limiting the side effects of ...

For many patients with localized lung cancer (non-small-cell lung carcinoma and small cell lung carcinoma), high-dose radiation with concurrent chemotherapy is a potential cure. Yet this treatment can cause severe, acute inflammation of the esophagus (es
Almost half of patients with advanced lung cancer receive more than the recommended number of radiation treatments to reduce their pain, according to a new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
