Concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective analysis of the correlation between radiotherapy-related factors and tumor response
Background: To determine which radiotherapy parameters are associated with the tumor response of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Thirty one patients with IIIA/IIIB NSCLC underwent chemoradiotherapy with a median dose of 63 Gy. On our actual treatments, we made radiotherapy planning to cover the planning...
متن کاملSequential chemoradiotherapy compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: our experience.
The aim of the study was to compare the survival impact of concurrent versus sequential treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 85 patients were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. In the sequential group, 45 patients had previously received sequential chemotherapy with 4 cycles of carboplatine and etoposide foll...
متن کاملEn bloc partial vertebrectomy for lung cancer invading the spine after induction chemoradiotherapy.
OBJECTIVE The optimal surgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with vertebral body invasion remains both controversial and challenging. We reviewed our experiences of NSCLC with vertebral body invasion, in which we have performed induction chemoradiotherapy followed by lung resection with en bloc partial vertebrectomy. METHODS Six NSCLC patients with vertebral invasion underw...
متن کاملTime and dose-related changes in radiological lung density after concurrent chemoradiotherapy for lung cancer.
Radiation pneumonitis is an important cause of morbidity after concurrent thoracic chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). However, asymptomatic changes in lung density on computed tomography (CT)-scans occur more commonly, and correspond to regions of inflammatory changes. Characterization of dose- and time-related changes in radiological lung density (RLD) may facilitate improved radiation planning, and al...
متن کاملA Meta-Analysis of Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Advanced Esophageal Cancer
BACKGROUND Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is a standard treatment for local advanced esophageal cancer, but the outcomes are controversial. Our goals were to compare the therapeutic effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy and radiotherapy alone in local advanced esophageal cancer using meta-analysis. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for studies comparing chemoradio...
