Radiotherapy plays an irreplaceable and unique role in treating thoracic tumors, but the
occurrence of radiation-induced lung injury has limited the increase in tumor target doses …

Purpose To determine whether functional lung avoidance based on 3 He magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) improves quality of life (QOL) for patients undergoing concurrent …

Objective. Functional lung avoidance (FLA) radiotherapy treatment aims to spare lung
regions identified as functional from imaging. Perfusion contributes to lung function and can …

Objective. This study aims to develop a fully automatic planning framework for functional
lung avoidance radiotherapy (AP-FLART). Approach. The AP-FLART integrates a dosimetric …

Purpose This phase 2 trial aimed to determine whether xenon-enhanced ventilation
computed tomography (XeCT)-guided functional-lung-avoidance radiation therapy could …

Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in China. Its incidence and mortality rate
increase year by year. In the synthesis treatment of lung cancer, radiotherapy (RT) plays a …

Background and purpose In external beam radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, dose
to functioning lung should be minimised to reduce lung morbidity. This study aimed to …

This literature project focused on evaluating various methods for functional-guided thoracic
radiotherapy, targeting the reduction of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) in lung cancer …

Lung cancer has been the most commonly occurring cancer (J. Ferlay, 2018), with the
highest fatality rate worldwide. Lung cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy typically …

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most diagnosed cancers in Canada, and
the leading cause of cancer deaths. A significant challenge in treating NSCLC is balancing …
