Abstract:
Thoracic radiotherapy has an established role in the management of limited-disease small-cell lung cancer (LD SCLC). However, essential questions relating to the optimisation of thoracic radiotherapy remain unanswered, including volume of irradiation, optimal total dose, fractionation, timing and sequencing of radiation. This review highlights the need for well-designed multi-national trials aimed at the optimisation and standardisation of radiotherapy for LD SCLC.

Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
