Abstract:
Thoracic radiotherapy has been a key component of local treatment for the patients with non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)。Many state of the art technologies, such as conformal radiotherapy, integration of PET imaging into target definition, measures of set-up and movement uncertainties have been used in the clinic and guided the treatment of individual patient. The treatment outcome of postoperative radiotherapy using new techniques has been improved for stage IIIa resected NSCLC. For the patients with inoperable or local advanced NSCLC,the involved field radiotherapy had been used. Dose escalation has become possible in recent years because of improved radiation technology to spare normal tissues. Introduction of risk estimation of normal lung based on dose-volume analysis for dose prescription may further optimise individual treatment
