CyberKnife Radiosurgery for Bronchogenic Carcinoma
This entire discussion refers primarily to non-small cell variants of bronchogenic carcinoma. The disease presents with different stages, anatomic locations, histologies and coexisting medical conditions that make the management of each case unique. Both surgery and various forms of external beam radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, have been used as primary treatment for bronchogenic carcinoma, with variable degrees of success depending upon the extent of disease at presentation (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
