Surgery is often used for large or symptomatic brain metastases but associated with risk of developing leptomeningeal dissemination. Emerging data suggest that fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT) an effective management strategy in metastases. We sought to retrospectively compare disease (LMD) and local control (LC) rates patients treated surgical resection followed by radiosurgery (S + SRS) versus FSRT alone.We identified all a metastasis ≥3 cm diameter from 2004 2017 S SRS...

Acute radiation pneumonitis is a dose-limiting toxicity of thoracic radiotherapy which can result in mortality. The purpose this study was to identify predictors intubation and in-hospital death among patients with lung cancer admitted for acute pneumonitis. Healthcare Cost Utilization Project (HCUP) National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database queried from 2012 through 2015 capture hospitalized adult principal diagnosis Patients were included if they also had cancer. Variables examined age,...

Purpose Our study reports the clinical outcomes of patients treated with 5-mm isotropic margin, fiducial-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We also sought to assess effect histological subtype on local control. Methods retrospectively reviewed charts all SBRT NSCLC between 2007 and 2017 at our institution. All who had implanted fiducial markers, planning target volume (PTV) margins 5 mm or less, disease (T1-T2, N0), least one...
