Many factors like fractionation, overall treatment time, and patient specific aspects are
important when studying and quantifying the effects of partial lung irradiation. The local …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify patient populations treated for non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who may be more at risk of radiation pneumonitis. Methods and …

PURPOSE: To assess factors associated with severe pulmonary toxicity after myeloablative
conditioning using total body irradiation (TBI) followed by allogeneic stem cell …

Purpose We used normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) modeling to explore the
impact of heart irradiation on radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF). Materials and methods …

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

Several clinical risk factors for radiation induced toxicity have been identified in the literature.
Here, we present a method to quantify the effect of clinical risk factors on radiation dose …

Effective radiation treatment of thoracic tumors is often limited by radiosensitivity of
surrounding tissues. Several experimental studies have suggested variations in …

Although radiation therapy provides the backbone of primary and adjuvant therapy for
several thoracic malignancies, the lungs have long been known to be exquisitely sensitive to …
