Description
We made a single couch treatment unit combining a linear accelerator with x-ray simulator and CT scan, and treated three patients with 5 lesions of primary or metastatic lung cancer. Multiple non-coplanar arcs treatment was used with 40-50 Gy/10 fractions at 80% dose area. So far, all treatments were safely performed and all lesions showed clinical responses, although follow-up was very short. Further studies are needed to assess whether this approach is truly safe and effective. (author)
