Background: A protocol for the contouring of target volumes in lung cancer was
implemented. Subsequently, a study was performed in order to determine the intra and inter …

PURPOSE: Dose escalation for lung cancer is limited by normal tissue toxicity. We
evaluated sequential computed tomography (CT) scans to assess the possibility of …

Purpose To quantify tumor anatomic change of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients
given passive-scattering proton therapy (PSPT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy …

PURPOSE: Local tumor recurrence remains a major problem in patients with inoperable non–
small-cell lung cancer undergoing radiotherapy. We investigated the theoretical gain in the …

Purpose Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early-stage inoperable non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients delivers high doses that require high-precision treatment …

Background. Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) could be a tool to reduce toxicity and to facilitate
dose escalation in stage III NSCLC. Our aim was to identify the most appropriate time and …

Purpose: To investigate the ability of four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT)–
derived ventilation images to identify regions of highly functional lung for avoidance in …

Objective: Anatomical changes during radiotherapy (RT) might introduce discrepancies
between planned and delivered doses. This study evaluates the need for adaptive treatment …

During gated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatment for patients with inoperable
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the end-expiration (EE) phase of respiratory is more …

Radiotherapy plays an important role in the management of lung cancer, with over 50% of
patients receiving this modality at some point during their treatment. Intensity-modulated …
