Local control is a main step to cure NSCLC because at least 30–40% of patients die for local
or regional progression of their disease. Surgery is still the more efficient approach to …

IMRT and 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3-DCRT) plans of 25 patients with non-
small cell lung (NSCLC) were compared in terms of planning target volume (PTV) coverage …

PURPOSE: To report on a hybrid intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT; static plus
IMRT beams treated concurrently) technique for lung and esophageal patients to reduce the …

Purpose/Objective (s): Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is being increasingly
used for locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as a measure to improve …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate the incorporation of data from single-photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) or hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance …

Background: To evaluate the influence of total dose and tumor volume on local control and
survival in primary radiotherapy of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods and …

Purpose We previously showed that individualized radiation dose escalation based on
normal tissue constraints would allow safe administration of high radiation doses with low …

The motion of lung tumors from respiration has been reported in the literature to be as large
as 1–2 cm. This motion requires an additional margin between the Clinical Target Volume …

Radiation therapy (RT) represents an integral part of a multimodality treatment plan in the
definitive, preoperative and postoperative management of non-small cell lung cancer …

Purpose: To evaluate, preclinically, the potential for dose escalation of continuous,
hyperfractionated, accelerated radiation therapy (CHART) for non small-cell lung cancer …
