Abstract:Purpose
The most common and potentially fatal side effect of thoracic radiation therapy is radiation pneumonitis (RP). Due to the lack of effective treatments, predicting radiation pneumonitis is crucial. This study aimed to develop a dynamic nomogram to accurately predict symptomatic pneumonitis (RP ≥ 2) following thoracic radiotherapy for lung cancer patients.
Methods
Data from patients with pathologically diagnosed lung cancer at our hospital between January 2017 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyze… Show more
