While outcome research in lung cancer has focused mainly on short-term survival and
quality of life (QoL), information on long-term (ie,> 5 years postdiagnosis) lung cancer …

Purpose: To prospectively study the capacity of positron emission tomography (PET) and
computed tomography (CT) to determine response soon after radical radiotherapy or …

Purpose: Most radical radiotherapy (RT) candidates with non–small-cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) have Stage III disease and ultimately die with distant metastases. We tested the …

Survival of lung cancer patients remains poor despite increasingly aggressive treatment.
Conventional staging has well-described limitations. 18F-FDG PET has been shown to …

BACKGROUND Successful treatment of nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with radical
radiotherapy (RT) requires accurate delineation of tumor extent. Conventional computed …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This prospective study investigated the impact of
radiotherapy (RT)-planning FDG-PET/CT on management of non-small cell lung cancer …

Purpose: At our center, approximately 30% of radical radiotherapy (RRT) candidates
become ineligible for RRT for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after positron emission …

PURPOSE: To analyze some of the limitations to improvement of the outcome of
radiotherapy (RT) expected from the introduction of sophisticated treatment planning and …

Objective: The optimal management of stage I lung cancer is surgical resection. However,
some of these patients are not candidates for surgery because of several medical problems …

Purpose: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is usually associated with a poor prognosis.
Some patients survive their disease, and the underlying molecular mechanisms are still …
