Abstract

In this review of the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for treating locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, topics discussed include aspects of treatment simulation, planning, and delivery and dose constraints and dosimetric findings used to predict treatment-related toxicity. Studies of toxicity arising from inadvertent radiation exposure of the normal lung, esophagus, and heart are described. Numerous treatment plan comparisons have been undertaken to demonstrate the putative dosimetric advantages of IMRT over previous techniques; results from these studies and clinical trials with analyses of survival outcomes and toxicity after IMRT versus other radiation therapy techniques are reviewed and discussed.
