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

Objective This study was undertaken to identify the factors predictive of radiation
pneumonitis (RP) in 69 non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with thoracic radiation …

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 …

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: 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 …

Radiation-induced normal tissue reactions of the lung, ie pneumonitis or fibrosis, are
common side effects occurring approximately 6–12 weeks and 1–2 years after completion of …

Purpose: To identify factors that may predict for severe radiation pneumonitis or
pneumonopathy (RP), we reviewed a set of simple, commonly available characteristics …

PURPOSE: To compute the risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP) as a function of mean lung
dose (MLD), with RP scored using three grading systems and analyzed at four threshold …

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 …

The efficacy of radiation treatment for intrathoracic malignancy is limited by the development
of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which can cause radiation pneumonitis and fibrosis in …
