摘要
The Lattice Radiotherapy (LRT) technique is mainly based on the GRID technology with the improved feature of the 3D treatment delivery. A 72 year old male presented with left shoulder pain due to a 6 cm pulmonary mass in the left upper lobe (LUL) histologically proven Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) stage IIIA. In July 2011 he was treated in our center with LRT followed by conventional fractionated Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) combined with chemotherapy. Clinical and imaging follow up of 6 years demonstrated continued improvement and the patient is currently with no evidence of disease (NED). This outstanding result obtained in our first lung cancer patient treated with this approach corroborates its potential in the treatment of locally advanced lung cancer. In a period of 7 years we have treated more than 30 patients with LRT for different diagnosis and sites; 12 of them NSCLC patients, with markedly improved local control and minimal toxicity.
