Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells. X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles are types of radiation used for cancer treatment. Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by damaging their DNA (the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information and...
tumor volume was delineated on the planning CT and the CBCT each treatment week. The occurrence or resolving of atelectases and pleural effusion were scored qualitatively. In a third of the lung cancer patients tumor regression was seen over the 5–6-week course of conventional therapy. In tot...
such that the tumor and pathologic lymph nodes can be safely irradiated to higher doses. In this review we describe recent developments in imaging, treatment planning and treatment delivery that have the potential to increase the efficacy of lung cancer radiation therapy. Respiratory-correlated imaging...
The evolution of Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) protocols for nonsmall cell lung cancerOver the past 2 decades, the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) has played a significant role in clarifying the role of radiation therapy (RT) in the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer (...
Radiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, breast, prostate, testicles, and brain.When a tumor is going to be removed surgically, radiation can shrink it. This reduces the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed near the tumor. When ...
The researchers examined the use of a tumor-specific mRNA-based vaccination combined with radiation in 2 tumor models, a low immunogenic Lewis lung cancer (LLC) tumor, and a high-immunogenic E.G7-OVA. The study evaluated the molecular mechanism that was induced by the combination the...

Patients with locally advanced lung cancer, which has spread to only certain lymph nodes, usually undergo surgery to remove their tumors. Unfortunately, the cancer often comes back, so physicians frequently use radiation therapy to decrease patients' risk ofcancer recurrence. To see if this additiona...
