Jaske G., et al., “IORT and External Beam Irradiation (EBI) in Clinical Stage I-II NSCLC Patients with Severely Compromised Pulmonary Function: A 52-Patient Single-institutional Experience.” (2007)

Treatment Use

Cancer Indication

Number of Patients

52

Summary/Conclusion

The use of IORT to deliver high single fraction doses precisely limited to the tumor and the possibility to tailor subsequent moderate-dose EBRT according to the spread of the disease offers a potentially curative therapy in patients who are unable to undergo radical surgery or radical EBRT due to their severe functional impairment.
