What are the radiotherapy methods for lung cancer?

Radiotherapy is widely used in the treatment of lung cancer. It is a method of using radiation, including X-rays, electron beams, neutron beams, proton beams and other particle beams to destroy or eliminate cancer cells. Depending on the purpose of treatment, radiotherapy can be divided into radical treatment, palliative treatment, preoperative radiotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy and intracavitary radiotherapy.

(1) Radical treatment: Radical treatment is mainly used for patients who are not suitable for surgery or refuse to undergo surgery.

(2) Palliative treatment: Palliative treatment, which is close to radical treatment, aims to relieve the patient's pain, prolong life, and improve the quality of life. When used for terminal patients, the purpose of palliative treatment is generally to relieve the patient's pain, paralysis, coma, shortness of breath, bleeding and other symptoms. The number of radiotherapy exposures should be determined according to the specific situation and equipment conditions.

(3) Preoperative radiotherapy: The purpose of preoperative radiotherapy is to improve the surgical resection rate and reduce the risk of tumor dissemination during surgery. It includes preoperative high-dose, oligofractionated radiotherapy and conventional fractionated radiotherapy, which are selected according to the patient's condition.

(4) Postoperative radiotherapy: Postoperative radiotherapy is mainly used for patients with insufficient preoperative estimation and incomplete surgical removal of the tumor to improve the treatment effect.

(5) Intracavitary short-distance radiotherapy: For cancer lesions confined to the large bronchi, iridium (192Ir) can be used for short-distance radiotherapy in combination with external irradiation to improve the treatment effect.
