Purpose: To compare different normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models to
predict the incidence of radiation pneumonitis on the basis of the dose distribution in the …

Purpose: Total body irradiation (TBI) is a standard treatment modality within the
multidisciplinary approach for allogeneous stem cell or bone marrow transplantation …

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 …

Purpose Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a common and potentially life-threatening toxicity
from lung cancer radiation therapy. Data sets reporting RP rates after postoperative radiation …

PURPOSE: To study regional differences in lung radiosensitivity by evaluating the incidence
of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in relation to regional dose distributions. METHODS AND …

Purpose: To assess the impact of patient-specific factors on radiation (RT)-induced
reductions in regional lung perfusion. Methods: Fifty patients (32 lung carcinoma, 7 …

Purpose To confirm the superiority of effective dose (D eff) over mean lung dose (MLD) for
predicting risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP), using data from patients on a randomized trial …

Purpose Pulmonary toxicities, including infectious pneumonia (IP) and idiopathic
pneumonia syndrome (IPS), are serious side effects of total body irradiation (TBI) used for …

BACKGROUND: Radiation pneumonitis is a dose-limiting toxicity for patients undergoing
concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We …

Radiation therapy (RT) for thoracic-region tumors often causes lung injury. The incidence of
lung toxicity depends on the method of assessment (eg, radiographs, patient's symptoms, or …
