Objective Investigate the spectrum of radiographic patterns of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in
lung cancer patients and identify imaging markers for high-grade RP and RP-related death …

Background and objective Radiation pneumonitis (RP) could be a lethal complication of
lung cancer treatment. No reliable predictors of RP severity have been recognized. This …

Background Symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) may be a serious complication after
thoracic radiation therapy (RT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This prospective …

Purpose We examined clinical and dosimetric factors as predictors of symptomatic radiation
pneumonitis (RP) in lung cancer patients and evaluated the relationship between interstitial …

Purpose: To assess the difficulty of assigning a definitive clinical diagnosis of radiation (RT)-
induced lung injury in patients irradiated for lung cancer. Methods: Between 1991 and 2003 …

BACKGROUND The authors attempted to determine the incidence of and risk factors for
clinical radiation pneumonitis in patients treated for lung carcinoma. They also sought to …

We evaluated associations of interstitial changes with radiation pneumonitis (RP) for
patients treated with thoracic radiotherapy. Between 2005 and 2009, patients who received …

Background: Risk factors for severe radiation pneumonitis, which often spreads beyond
treatment portals and may even be bilateral, have not been fully investigated. The purpose …

Introduction This study investigated the clinical characteristics and predictive factors for
developing acute extended radiation pneumonitis with a focus on the presence and …

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the risk factors for acute radiation pneumonitis (RP)
and long-term prognosis of patients with lung cancer treated by thoracic radiotherapy …
