PURPOSE: To systematically evaluate four different techniques of radiation therapy (RT)
used to treat non–small-cell lung cancer and to determine their efficacy in meeting multiple …

PURPOSE: To investigate dosimetric improvements with respect to tumor-dose conformity
and normal tissue sparing using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) compared with …

PURPOSE: To investigate the possibility of using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to
reduce the irradiated volumes of the normal lung and other critical structures in the treatment …

Purpose: To quantify the dose escalation achievable in the treatment of non-small-cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) by allowing dose heterogeneity in the target volume or using intensity …

Purpose Concerns have been raised about the potential for worse treatment outcomes
because of dosimetric inaccuracies related to tumor motion and increased toxicity caused by …

Purpose Although intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is increasingly used to treat
locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), IMRT and three-dimensional …

Purpose: To determine whether high-dose radiation leads to improved outcomes in patients
with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods and Materials: This analysis included …

Purpose: To report the results of high-dose conformal irradiation and examine incidental
nodal irradiation and nodal failure in patients with inoperable early-stage non–small-cell …

Purpose Local failure is a major obstacle to the cure of locally advanced non-small-cell lung
cancer. 3-Dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3-DCRT) selects optimal treatment …

Purpose: Dose escalation using three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT)
has been investigated as a means to improve local control. However, with higher doses, the …
