This report provides a review of early and late effects of radiation in normal tissues and
organs with respect to radiation protection. It was instigated following a recommendation in …

The three-dimensional dose, volume, and outcome data for lung are reviewed in detail. The
rate of symptomatic pneumonitis is related to many dosimetric parameters, and there are no …

Importance Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and radiation therapy (RT) are widely used
to treat various cancers, but little data are available to guide clinicians on ICI use …

Acute radiation damage is most prominent in tissues with rapidly proliferating cells, such as
in epithelial surfaces of the skin or alimentary tract. Symptoms develop when functional cells …

Abstract Since September 11, 2001, there has been the recognition of a plausible threat
from acts of terrorism, including radiological or nuclear attacks. A network of Centers for …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review of the predictive ability of
various dose–volume histogram (DVH) parameters (Vdose, mean lung dose (MLD), and …

Although radiotherapy improves locoregional control and survival in patients with non-small-
cell lung cancer, radiation pneumonitis is a common treatment-related toxicity. Many …

Radiation-induced lung fibrosis (RILF) is a severe side effect of radiotherapy in lung cancer
patients that presents as a progressive pulmonary injury combined with chronic …

The goal of radiation therapy is to reduce or eliminate tumor burden while sparing normal
tissues from long-term injury. Thoracic radiation presents a unique challenge because of the …

Purpose: To clarify whether the percentage of pulmonary volume irradiated to> 20 Gy (V20)
is related to the incidence and grade of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in cases of lung cancer …
