Predictors of high-grade radiation pneumonitis following radiochemotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: analysis of clinical, radiographic and radiotherapy-related factors
Abstract:Purpose:
In this study, the relation between radiation pneumonitis (RP) and a wide spectrum of clinical, radiographic and treatment-related factors was investigated. As scoring of low-grade RP can be subjective, RP grade ≥3 (RP ≥ G3) was chosen as a more objective and clinically significant endpoint for this study.
Methods and Materials:
105 consecutive patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer underwent conventionally fractionated radio-(chemo-)therapy to a median dose o… Show more
