Locally advanced rectal cancer has historically been treated with multimodal therapy consisting of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and total mesorectal excision. However, recent prospective trials and registry studies have demonstrated similar disease outcomes with nonoperative management for patients who experience an excellent clinical response to radiation and chemotherapy. This article reviews data regarding nonoperative management for rectal cancer, and highlights current challenges and limitations in a point-counterpoint format, in the context of two clinical cases.

Spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT), also known as the GRID and LATTICE radiotherapy (GRT, LRT), the concept of treating tumors by delivering a spatially modulated dose with highly non-uniform dose distributions, is a treatment modality of growing interest in radiation oncology, physics, and radiation biology. Clinical experience in SFRT has suggested that GRID and LATTICE therapy can achieve a high response and low toxicity in the treatment of refractory and bulky tumors. Limited initially to GRID therapy using block collimators, advanced, and versatile multi-leaf collimators, volumetric modulated arc technologies and particle therapy have since increased the capabilities and individualization of SFRT and expanded the clinical investigation of SFRT to various dosing regimens, multiple malignancies, tumor types and sites.

Purpose Of Review: Technological advancement in low-dose computed tomography resulted in an increased incidental discovery of early-stage lung cancer and multifocal ground glass opacity. The demand for parenchyma-preserving treatment strategies is greater now than ever. Pulmonary ablative therapy is a groundbreaking technique to offer local ablative treatment in a lung-sparing manner.
