Journal ArticleDOI

Robert Timmerman,Rebecca Paulus,James M. Galvin,Jeff M. Michalski,William L. Straube,Jeffrey D. Bradley,Achilles J. Fakiris,Andrea Bezjak,Gregory M.M. Videtic,David W. Johnstone,Jack F. Fowler,Elizabeth Gore,Hak Choy +12 more
TL;DR: Patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer who received stereotactic body radiation therapy had a survival rate of 55.8% at 3 years, high rates of local tumor control, and moderate treatment-related morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The linear-quadratic formula and progress in fractionated radiotherapy
TL;DR: Clinical gains have been reported from the use of nonstandard fractionation schedules planned with a radiobiological basis, with Hyperfractionation providing the leading example, as described below.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is α/β for prostate tumors really low?
TL;DR: All the estimates point toward low values of α/β, at least as low as the estimates of Brenner and Hall, and possibly lower than the expected values of about 3 Gy for late complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Image guidance for precise conformal radiotherapy
Thomas R. Mackie,J M Kapatoes,K. J. Ruchala,Weiguo Lu,Chuan Wu,Gustavo H. Olivera,Lisa J. Forrest,Wolfgang A. Tomé,Jim Welsh,Robert Jeraj,Paul M. Harari,Paul J. Reckwerdt,Bhudatt R. Paliwal,Mark A. Ritter,H. Keller,Jack F. Fowler,Minesh P. Mehta +16 more
TL;DR: Helical tomotherapy has been designed from the ground up as an integrated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy system and allows new verification processes based on megavoltage CT images to be implemented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of local control with prolongation in radiotherapy
Jack F. Fowler,Mary J. Lindstrom +1 more
TL;DR: It is clear that modest prolongation is associated with a lower chance of local control, and the magnitude of time factors relating local control to overall time is determined.
