Due to pulmonary tuberculosis, the patient had underwent a complete right-side pulmonary lobectomy 20 years ago. Left lung supports his life, he is unable to carry on an operation treatment, so he accepted radiotherapy. Firstly, we defined gross tumor volume (GTV1) by CT simulation location, three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) was used until tumor dose reached 50 Gy/25 f. Secondly, by repeating the planning CT scan, defined GTV2, continued to radiotherapy by 2.5 Gy/f until the dose was 65 Gy/31 f. Using the same method for third CT scan, defined GTV3, continued to radiotherapy by 3 Gy/f until the total dose was 74 Gy/34 f. After radiotherapy, the patient acquired complete response and he had no obvious side-effect of radiotherapy. There has been no recurrence for 5 years now.展开更多
