Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To trace the history of radiotherapy and present the latest advances in radiation treatment planning, techniques, and delivery for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. DATA SOURCES:Textbooks, manuals, journals. and internet sites. CONCLUSION:After the introduction of computed tomography into radiation oncology (RO), technology advanced in the development of newer equipment for designing, planning, and delivering treatment. RO is pushing the limits of higher doses, under the theory that higher doses kill more cancer cells. The outcomes are promising. Nurses can articulate these technological changes and help patients through the highly technical process. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE:Knowledge of new technology and treatment strategies for patients with lung cancer will assist nurses in patient education and outcomes of therapy.
