Recurrent Disease
Unfortunately, it is not unusual for lung cancer to relapse following attempted curative treatment. These recurrent cancers often prove inoperable and poorly responsive to additional chemotherapy, with additional “conventional radiation” usually considered dangerous and ineffective.
CyberKnife® radiosurgery offers a new treatment alternative for these patients, who have traditionally had very few remaining options, and may be considered in selected patients for symptom relief, in some cases translating to additional long-term disease-free survival.
