Targeted Approaches with Radiotherapy for Cancer

Explore targeted approaches to cancer treatment using radiotherapy in this 48-minute lecture by Dr. Quynh-Thu Le, a Stanford Cancer Institute researcher and oncologist. Delve into various radiation treatment types, delivery methods, and strategies to enhance radiation delivery accuracy. Learn about linear accelerators, motion management techniques, and respiratory-gated arc SABR. Examine clinical trials such as STARS/ROSEL pooled analysis and Stanford ISABR, and discover the potential of SABR for oligometastasis treatment. Investigate innovative applications of SABR, including its use as an alternative to lung reduction surgery and early exploration in treating ventricular tachycardia. Gain insights into the Avatar System, rationales for hadron therapy, and successful clinical indications for carbon ion therapy. Understand how radiation enhances immune checkpoint therapy activities and access resources for cancer clinical trials and information at Stanford Cancer Institute.
