Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Majority of newly diagnosed
lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), of which up to half are considered …

In 1989 the British Journal of Radiology published a review proposing the term biologically
effective dose (BED), based on linear quadratic cell survival in radiobiology. It aimed to …

PURPOSE: To review treatment outcomes for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in
medically operable patients with Stage I non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), using a …

Purpose: In this work, three-dimensional (3D) motion of lung tumors during radiotherapy in
real time was investigated. Understanding the behavior of tumor motion in lung tissue to …

Introduction Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HypoFXSRT) has recently been
used for the treatment of small lung tumors. We retrospectively analyzed the treatment …

BACKGROUND Stereotactic irradiation (STI) has been actively performed using various
methods to achieve better local control of Stage I nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in …

Purpose In lung cancer, randomized trials assessing hyperfractionated or accelerated
radiotherapy seem to yield conflicting results regarding the effects on overall (OS) or …

PURPOSE: To review the state of the art in image-guided precision conformal radiotherapy
and to describe how helical tomotherapy compares with the image-guided practices being …

Purpose: A Phase I dose escalation study of stereotactic body radiation therapy to assess
toxicity and local control rates for patients with medically inoperable Stage I lung cancer …

Tomotherapy is the delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy using rotational delivery
of a fan beam in the manner of a CT scanner. In helical tomotherapy the couch and gantry …
