How is radiation treatment done for prostate cancer? What is carcinoma cancer of the lung? Can immunotherapy cure stage 3 lung cancer? What are side effects of radiation treatment for prostate cancer? How often is chemo given for lung cancer?
In this study, we examined the effect of radiotherapy on survival rates in lung cancer patients who has been treated in this hospital between February 1989 and April 1994. The data obtained were analyzed for the presence or absence of chemotherapy, radiation dose, area, patient's age and ...

SBRT will be a new treatment option in early stage operable NSCLC (probably using IMAT to deliver SBRT much faster); Proton-beam therapy is being investigated for lung cancer patients because of its great potential to reduce the dose to the surrounding normal tissues. Proton-beam therapy is adv...
So in the framework of immune treatment, we have the results of the PACIFIC study, and it is shown that the addition of durvalumab after chemoradiation really increases survival in the long run, so there’s no question about that. At this moment, according to the standard of care and ...
Finally, in small-cell lung cancer, again, radiation therapy can successfully be employed either alone or, most frequently, with chemotherapy in treatment of both limited and extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer. While largely unsubstantiated fear has governed our approaches in elderly with lung ...

Owing to the fractionated nature of radiotherapy of lung cancer patients, patients are treated on multiple days. Each day, the patient is positioned on the treatment couch by aligning skin marks (made prior to the acquisition of the planning CT) to a set of orthogonal lasers representing the ...
aLung cancer radiation therapy(RT) is associated with complex geometrical uncertainties,such as respiratory motiion,differential baseline shifts between primary tumor and involved lymph nodes,and anatomical changes due to treatment respones.Generous safety margins required to account for these uncertainties ...
External-beam radiotherapy, often combined with chemotherapy, is the treatment of choice for locally advanced inoperable lung cancer. Locoregional control and disease-free survival, however, are limited with the current clinically applied treatment strategies. An important factor is the inability to delive...
