Radiation therapy is an option for selected patients at
every stage of lung cancer and may be combined with
chemotherapy in a multimodality attack.
Duke’s radiation oncology team uses advanced treatment
techniques to minimize the risk of serious side effects, such
as three-dimensional conformal radiation.
By combining 3-D imaging techniques with a computerized
program, our radiation oncologists can define the size and
shape of the tumor more precisely than ever, enabling them to
deliver more targeted radiation therapy.
The technique enables doctors to limit damage to normal
surrounding tissue or organs while increasing the amount of
radiation delivered to lung cancer tumors.
