February 1, 2021 Two studies presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) world conference look at the use of higher radiation boost doses for lung cancer.
In the first, researchers demonstrated the feasibility and safety of performing biologically adaptive radiation therapy escalation in a multicenter setting in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the second, researchers found excellent local control rates with dose escalation to the whole planning target.
Dr. Feng-Ming (Spring) Kong, PhD, from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH, and colleagues sought to determine whether adaptive isotoxic radiation dose escalation to midtreatment FDG-PET provides superior local tumor control compared with a standard uniform dose of 60 Gy in patients with stage III NSCLC.
