Purpose To investigate the frequency and amplitude of baseline shift or drift (shift/drift) of
lung tumors in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), using a real-time tumor-tracking …

The efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been well demonstrated.
However, it presents unique challenges for accurate planning and delivery especially in the …

Over the last 4 years, IMRT, IGRT, SBRT: Advances in the Treatment Planning and Delivery
of Radiotherapy has become a standard reference in the field. During this time, however …

PURPOSE: With the increasing use of conformal radiation therapy methods for non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it is necessary to accurately determine respiratory-induced tumor …

Purpose Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early-stage lung cancer can be
achieved with several methods: respiratory gating, body frame, or real-time target and …

Conventional radiation therapy has had limited success in curing inoperable lung cancer
due to poor local control. There is evidence to suggest that higher doses of radiation will …

State of the art radiation treatment methods such as hypo-fractionated stereotactic body
radiation therapy (SBRT) can successfully destroy tumor cells and avoid damaging healthy …

PURPOSE: To assess feasibility and reproducibility of an Active Breathing Coordinator
(ABC) used throughout radical radiotherapy for non–small-cell lung cancer, and compare …

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of tumor motion on
dose delivery in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung cancer, using fixed field …

Cancer treatment with ionizing radiation is often compromised by organ motion, in particular
for lung cases. Motion uncertainties can significantly degrade an otherwise optimized …
