| Lung cancer is one of the most deadly types of | | | | The potential advantage from enhancing the |

| The treatment procedures adopted to cure the | | | | controlled and balanced over the risk of injury to the |
| disease depends upon the stage of its formation. | | | | normal tissues of the body including the |
| Knee arthritis is one of the first signs. | | | | uncomplicated normal heart, lung, spinal cord and |
| Surgery for lung cancer remains an option for the | | | | esophagus. However the risk of the radiation |
| patients suffering from lung cancer with stage I and | | | | negative effects depend on total volume of the dose |
| II i.e. the early stage NSCLC (non-small cell lung | | | | of the radiation, the volume of dose in every session |
| cancer). Nevertheless, substantial amounts of | | | | and also the volume of the normal tissues that are |
| individuals suffering from cancer are medically | | | | exposed to the radiation. The radiation could cause |
| inoperable lung cancer due to various medical | | | | inflammation of lungs, scarring of lungs, which further |
| conditions and failure that can lead to several kinds of | | | | creates shortness of breath, worsens the pulmonary |
| complications and even death after the surgery. | | | | function tests, and might need oxygen treatments |
| Prostate, leukemia, ibs carcinomas are some of the | | | | on a permanent or on a temporary basis. Radiation |
| types of cancer and low energy, congestive | | | | injury to the tube of the food between the stomach |
| breathing and bronchitis are some of the signs and | | | | and the mouth might result in hurting swallowing and |
| symptoms of cancer. However, if seen in child at any | | | | narrowing of esophagus that might compromise |
| stage must be cured as soon as possible in order to | | | | nutrition. The risk of radiation injury with greater |
| avoid further complications. Narcolepsy is one | | | | radiation dose underscores the necessity for novel |
| medicine such that has been proved highly beneficial | | | | radiation therapy procedure which target the tumor |
| to treat the problem of | | | | more accurately while least exposure to the normal |
| cancer. Medically | | | | tissues of the |
| inoperable lung cancer in the early stage has several | | | | body. |
| treatment alternatives including chemotherapy, | | | | The three dimensional |
| radiation therapy, radiofrequency ablation, targeted | | | | radiation therapy techniques traditionally have been |
| therapy and cryotherapy. RFA or radiofrequency | | | | used in order to cure the patients with the medically |
| ablation is a method under which the heat is used in | | | | inoperable lung cancer with stage I and II non-small |
| order to kill the cancer or a tumor. Initially, the cancer | | | | cell lung cancer. This technique enables the physicians |
| is localized by a computed technology- CT or an ultra | | | | to visualize the cancer tumor and the normal tissues |
| sound and after that, a thin needle is placed in via the | | | | in the three dimensions and calculate the radiation |
| skin in the tumor. The electric energy supplied via the | | | | doses according to the whole volume of the tumor |
| thin needle heat the cancer/tumor to a temperature | | | | and to lessen down the damage. A comparatively |
| of almost hundred degrees Celsius, thereby killing the | | | | low dose of the 2 Gy is generally applied to the cells |
| cells of the cancer in the tumor. Nevertheless, RFA is | | | | of the cancer every day on the course of five to |
| suitable for the small size tumor and situated away | | | | seven weeks in order to supply the total dose of |
| from the vital organs in chest like main blood vessels, | | | | 50-70 Gy. Reviews of the patients outcomes treated |
| central airways and heart. Risk from this method | | | | through this method indicate overall survival rates |
