Abstract:
Hypofractionated three-dimensional confornul radiotherapy (3DCRT) makes it possible to further improve loeal control,overall survival and the quality of life for the patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).But the dose-fractionation and total dose are not yet clear,which need further study.Hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early-stage NSCLC patients is well tolerated and results in excellent local control and overall survival.SBRT is expected to become a new standard treatment in patients with early stage NSCLC.
