Following very significant advances, it is now widely recognized that definitive treatment should be considered in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have pulmonary dysfunction and/or other co-morbidities. This book is a detailed guide to the evaluation and management of these high-risk patients. It first addresses issues such as pathologic considerations, assessment of co-morbidity and the imaging and staging of NSCLC. Surgical and radiotherapy treatment options, including sublobar resection, minimally invasive surgery, brachytherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy and proton and charged particle therapy, are then discussed in detail. The role of radiofrequency ablation, salvage local therapy and systemic chemotherapy is also considered. Treatment of High-Risk Early Stage Lung Cancer will be of great interest to radiation and medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, interventional radiologists and pulmonologists.

lt;br /> Jeffrey A. Bogart, M.D., is the current chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Upstate Medical University. Bogart, professor of radiation oncology, joined the SUNY Upstate faculty in 1993. He is currently chair or co-chair of eight Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB)-funded multicenter clinical trials and one National Institutes of Health (NIH) study. He serves on several oversight and advisory committees for the NIH. Bogart, a resident of Jamesville, is an active leader in the CALGB for which he currently serves on its Executive Committee, Board of Directors, and as chair of its Radiation Oncology committee. He is also active in a range of other national organizations in therapeutic radiology and oncology. He is a member of the editorial board of The Journal of Clinical Oncology.
