Scientists at Korea Cancer Center Hospital, Department of Internal Medicine target non-small cell lung cancer therapy

(NewsRx.com) --

Investigators publish new data in the report 'Treatment of stage I non-small cell lung cancer
Cancer is in the lung only. Stage I is divided into stages IA and IB based on the size or location of the tumor.stage I non-small cell lung cancer with CyberKnife, image-guided robotic stereotactic radiosurgery
A radiation therapy procedure that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely deliver a large radiation dose to a tumor and not to normal tissue. This procedure does not use surgery. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer, such as lung cancer. Also called radiation surgery, radiosurgery, stereotactic external-beam radiation, stereotactic radiation therapy, and stereotaxic radiosurgery stereotactic radiosurgery.' "The object of our study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer
A group of lung cancers that includes squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent radiosurgery
A radiation therapy procedure that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely deliver a large radiation dose to a tumor and not to normal tissue. This procedure does not use surgery. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer, such as lung cancer. Also called radiation surgery, stereotactic external-beam radiation, stereotactic radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotaxic radiosurgery.>radiosurgery using the CyberKnife, a newly developed technology to deliver radiation
Energy released in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves. Common sources of radiation include radon gas, cosmic rays from outer space, and medical x-rays. radiation from multiple angles with a real-time target tracking system. A retrospective analysis
A study that looks backward in time, usually using medical records and interviews with patients who already have or had a disease.'retrospective analysis of eight patients with stage I NSCLC who were treated with curative intent using the CyberKnife between 2002 and 2007 at a cancer
A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control. Cancer cells can invade nearby tissues and can spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system.'cancer center in Korea was performed," scientists in Seoul, Korea report.

The researchers concluded: "CyberKnife treatment is very safe and is able to achieve a high local control rate, suggesting its role as a reasonable alternative therapeutic
Having to do with treating disease and helping healing take place therapeutic modality in early lung cancer
Cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages. The two main types are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. These types are diagnosed based on how the cells look under a microscope lung cancer."
