Radiation Therapy for Cancer

Radiotherapy treats cancer by using radiation to destroy on injure cancer cells. The radiation can be targeted onto cancer sites in your body. Treatment is carefully planned to do as possible to your normal body tissue. Newer techniques of intercity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) and image guided radiotherapy(IGRT) ensure maximum dose to the tumor safeguarding the normal uninvolved organs from adverse effects.

Gated Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer:

This is a highly specialized form of radiation therapy where moving tumour such as lung tumour is targeted in a particular phase of breathing cycle. It improves accuracy and reduce side-effects associated with radiation therapy.
Treatment is painless and may take only two to three minutes usefully; radiotherapy is given as a number of treatments over a period of weeks. Radiotherapy may be used to cure some early stage lung cancers. It may be used with candidate for cancer surgery. Radiotherapy can be used to relieve pain and others symptoms, for example, pain caused by cancer that has spread to the bones of brain. Treatment that is used to relieve symptoms of disease with our attempting to cure disease is called palliative treatment.

Targeted Therapy (Biological Agents)

Some people, usefully non-smokers (who have never smoked) are suitable for a new kind of drug that targets the growth genes and/or the blood-vessel forming genes of the cancer cells. These drugs tend to have not as many side effects as the usual chemotherapy drugs, although they can cause rashes. Usually targeted therapy will be used after normal chemotherapy no longer controls the disease. Your doctor may order a special gene test to see if your cancer is susceptible to this type of drug.

Prognosis

As in most types of cancer, the results of treatment are best when the cancer is detected and treated early. People who have surgery in the early stages of lung cancer have a very good chance of cure. In many people, lung cancer is not found while it can still be operated upon. In people with advanced cancer, palliative treatment with radiotherapy can effectively treat many symptoms?
People who continue to smoke after lung cancer treatment are at risk of further disease. If you would like information about your own prognosis, you need to speak to a doctor who knows your medical history.
