In this issue, Yorke et al.(1) from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center describe an
association between the dosimetric parameters from the lung dose–volume histogram …

PURPOSE: Extensive research has led to the identification of numerous dosimetric
parameters as well as patient characteristics, associated with lung toxicity, but their clinical …

Purpose: To assess the utility of dosimetric/functional metrics as predictors of symptomatic
radiation pneumonitis using receiver operating characteristic curves. Methods: Between …

Purpose: To relate lung dose-volume histogram-based factors to symptomatic radiation
pneumonitis (RP) in patients with lung cancer undergoing 3-dimensional (3D) radiotherapy …

Abstract Willner J, Jost A, Baier K, et al: A little to a lot or a lot to a little? An analysis of
pneumoni-tis risk from dose-volume histogram parameters of the lung in patients with lung …

Purpose: Dose escalation of thoracic radiation can improve the local tumor control and
surivival, and is in the meantime limited by the occurrence of radiation-induced lung injury …

Pulmonary injury is more common in patients undergoing radiation therapy for lungs and
other thoracic malignancies. Recently with the use of most-advanced technologies powerful …

Purpose. To predict the pulmonary function 3–4 months after irradiation for malignant
lymphoma from the three-dimensional (3-D) dose distribution. Methods. Dose-effect …

Background and purpose There is a huge difference in radiosensitivity of lungs between
patients. The present study aims to identify and quantify patient-specific radiosensitivity …

Purpose: To identify a clinically relevant and available parameter upon which to identify non-
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients at risk for pneumonitis when treated with three …
