Stereotactic body radiation therapy for stage I medically operable non-small cell lung cancer.

Stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as the standard treatment for inoperable patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the current study, we retrospectively analyzed a medically operable patient cohort with stage I NSCLC who refused surgery and subsequently underwent SBRT. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated.

The prognostic value of preoperative PET/CT evaluation of maximum standardized uptake value in renal cell carcinomas.

Aim: The use of positron emission tomography (PET/CT) in kidney tumors has increased greatly in recent years. There have been few studies on the effect of SUVmax values detected by PET/CT on the mortality and survival estimation in patients with kidney tumors. In this study, it is hoped to contribute to the literature of research on survival and mortality estimations of kidney tumour patients through an evaluation of SUVmax values measured with PET/CT scan.
