Stereotaktična radioterapija telesa pri bolnikih s pljučnim rakom
Stereotaktična radioterapija telesa (SBRT) bolnikov s pljučnim rakom je metoda zdravljenja bolnikov v zgodnjem stadiju bolezni, ki nimajo prizadetih regionalnih bezgavk. Standardno so ti bolniki zdravljeni z operacijo, ki pa je lahko preveč tvegana zaradi starosti, spremljajočih bolezni ali slabe pljučne funkcije. V teh primerih smo bolnikom nudili druge načine zdravljenja, kot so tridimenzionalno konformno obsevanje, radiofrekvenčna ablacija ali pa le podporna terapija. S temi pristopi je bila kontrola rakave bolezni in preživetje bolnikov občutno slabše kot z operacijo. Obsevanje s tehniko SBRT pa bolnikom ponuja primerljive rezultate zdravljenja kot operacija ob manjšem tveganju za poslabšanje pljučne funkcije kot standardno obsevanje. Zaradi manjšega števila obsevanj je zdravljenje krajše in bolnikom bolj prijazno. Vse to bolnikom omogoča boljši izid zdravljenja in boljšo kakovost življenja ter je zato že postalo del svetovnih smernic za zdravljenje neoperabilnega raka pljuč v zgodnjem stadiju bolezni in tistih, ki operacijo odklonijo.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is used for treatment of early stage lung cancer for patients without lymph node involvement. The standard treatment option for early disease is surgical resection; however, this type of treatment might be too risky due to age, co-morbidities and an impaired lung function. Traditionally, the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT), radiofrequency ablation or symptomatic palliative treatment have been used for these patients in the past, but significantly worse local control of disease and survival rates were achieved compared to surgery. The SBRT technique offers patients with lung cancer treatment results comparable to surgery and a lower risk of impaired lung function compared to the standard 3D CRT. Due to a lower number of fractions, the whole treatment is shorter and more convenient for the patient. This enables patients a better treatment outcome and an increased quality of life; and therefore it has become part of the global guidelines for treatment of inoperable lung cancer in the early stages of the disease and for those who refuse surgery.
