Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United
States, but IGRT (image guided radiation therapy) offers the
possibility of more aggressive and enhanced treatments. The only
available source on the subject that emphasizes new imaging
techniques, and provides step-by-step treatment guidelines for lung
cancer, this source helps clinicians locate and target tumors with
enhanced speed, improve the accuracy of radiation delivery, and
correctly target cancerous masses while avoiding surrounding
structures. Edited by radiation oncology experts from the renowned
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, this guide: focuses on novel
approaches using IGRT, particularly PET/CT, SPECT, 4-D CT,
stereotactic body radiation therapy, IMRT and proton radiotherapy,
and offers expert guidance on the dose, fractionation, target
volume delineation (including recommended margins with and without
respiratory gating based on our new 4-D CT study), and normal
tissue tolerances stands as the first step-by-step guide for
radiation oncologists to implement new image-guided techniques into
their day-to-day clinical practice, and considers the practical
issues of implementing these approaches into their routine helps
clinicians use imaging technologies to detect changes in tumor
size, shape, position, or metabolism over a course of radiotherapy
treatment provides disease stage-specific treatment guidelines and
clearly lays out imaging techniques serves as roadmap for future
research and development
