For non-small cell lung cancer, conventional radiation therapy is used with surgery and chemotherapy for locally advanced stages, while stereotactic body radiation therapy is used for early stage cancers. For small cell lung cancer, conventional radiation therapy is used for limited stage disease. Palliative radiation therapy provides symptom relief for metastatic lung cancers.

It provides an overview of mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound, MRI, and molecular breast imaging. Mammography remains the primary screening tool, though its sensitivity decreases with breast density. Digital breast tomosynthesis has been shown to improve cancer detection rates compared to digital mammography alone. Ultrasound is useful as an adjunct but has high false positive rates for screening. MRI is recommended for screening high risk patients due to its high sensitivity. Molecular breast imaging is a potential adjunct screening tool for dense breasts that may help increase cancer detection over mammography alone.

The Role of Surgery in Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, has 32 slides with 3021 views.This document summarizes evidence on the role of surgery for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). It finds that palliative surgery effectively controls symptoms for MBC patients. Prospective studies also suggest surgery may improve survival for responsive MBC patients with a limited number of metastases, especially those with ER+ disease. However, randomized trials yield mixed results on survival benefits. While definitive local therapy may be justified for select asymptomatic MBC patients, systemic therapy and targeted therapies remain the top priority for these patients overall.

Surgery for Inflammatory Breast Cancer: How and Why
Surgery for Inflammatory Breast Cancer: How and WhyDana-Farber Cancer Institute This document summarizes a presentation on surgery for inflammatory breast cancer. It discusses that initial evaluation involves biopsy and determining if the disease is resectable. For resectable disease, the standard treatment is neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by modified radical mastectomy and radiation therapy. The role of surgery is supported by studies showing improved survival with surgery. Immediate breast reconstruction is not recommended for IBC patients due to concerns about residual disease in the skin. However, delayed reconstruction after chemotherapy and surgery is an option, with tissue expanders and flaps being used in over 30 patients with low complication rates. Future areas of research include the role of local therapy for stage 4 disease and mapping lymphatic drainage.
Radiation Therapy for Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Radiation Therapy for Inflammatory Breast CancerDana-Farber Cancer Institute This document summarizes radiation therapy for inflammatory breast cancer. It discusses the unique features of IBC that help define radiation fields, the use of tri-modality therapy including systemic therapy, surgery, and radiation. It describes the process of radiation therapy including CT simulation, immobilization, fields used to treat the chest wall and nodes, and techniques like bolus and dynamic multi-leaf collimator. Both short term and long term side effects of radiation are outlined, and future directions exploring concurrent therapies to improve effectiveness are presented.
Primary Systemic Therapy for Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Primary Systemic Therapy for Inflammatory Breast CancerDana-Farber Cancer Institute 1) Primary systemic therapy with chemotherapy is used to begin treatment for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) since it is inoperable at diagnosis.
2) IBC has been shown to be relatively chemoresistant, so identifying targeted therapeutic approaches is important.
3) Clinical trials specifically designed for IBC are needed, as including IBC patients in locally advanced breast cancer trials makes it difficult to interpret outcomes for IBC. Such trials should incorporate translational components to further understand IBC biology.

Manual Biomag Lumio 3De in English Language
Manual Biomag Lumio 3De in English LanguageBiomag Medical s.r.o. The manual describes the use of the Lumio 3D-e device for pulsed magnetotherapy, which utilizes low-frequency pulsed magnetic fields to relieve pain, swelling, and muscle spasms while also promoting tissue healing and regeneration. It explains how the magnetic field affects the permeability of cell membranes and increases blood circulation in the treated area, leading to improved metabolic exchange and the removal of harmful substances.
Additionally, the manual includes an overview of safety guidelines, indications, and contraindications to ensure the safe and effective use of the device. The technical section outlines the main parameters of the device—frequency range, magnetic field intensity, and pulse duration—and provides a detailed description of the unique 3D technology, which enables gradual and targeted output switching to optimize energy transfer to the applicators.
Furthermore, the document contains instructions on selecting and correctly positioning the applicators for various therapeutic purposes and emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance and service checks to ensure the long-term safety and effectiveness of the device.

It explains how these magnetic impulses affect cells, enhance microcirculation and metabolism, contributing to the reduction of pain, swelling, and muscle spasms while also promoting tissue healing. Additionally, it clarifies how to properly set up and use the device – from selecting the appropriate mode for home care (EASY) to more advanced options designed for clinical environments (CLINIC).
The manual includes safety guidelines that highlight proper handling of the device to prevent risks associated with incorrect usage. It also provides information on the device's technical parameters, such as frequency, pulse duration, and magnetic field intensity, along with a description of individual therapeutic programs that can be customized to meet the patient's needs.
Furthermore, details on different types of applicators – such as circular, flat, or localized – and their specific applications for targeted therapy are included. Emphasis is also placed on regular maintenance and inspection of the device to ensure its long-term effectiveness and safety during therapeutic use.
