Purpose. To investigate the potential role of incidental heart irradiation on the risk of
radiation pneumonitis (RP) for patients receiving definitive radiation therapy for non-small …

Background. The goal of the present study was to determine, in a large clinical cohort,
whether incidental radiation exposure to the heart during definitive radiotherapy of …

Objectives To investigate risk and predictors for radiation pneumonitis (RP) and tolerance of
lung to radiation in patients treated with thoracic radiotherapy (RT) with or without surgery …

Purpose: To define clinical and dosimetric parameters correlated with the risk of clinically
relevant radiation pneumonitis (RP) after thoracic radiotherapy. Methods and Materials …

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the risk factors for acute radiation pneumonitis (RP)
and long-term prognosis of patients with lung cancer treated by thoracic radiotherapy …

Introduction. The risk of developing side effects after radiotherapy is not only dependent on
radiation dose, but may also be affected by patient-related risk factors. Here we perform a …

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

Purpose: To determine the risk factors contributing to developing of radiation pneumonitis
(RP) in patients with lung cancer who undergo radiation therapy to the thorax. Methods and …

Purpose Factors prediction in the development of radiation pneumonitis (RP) remains
unclear. A meta-analysis about this was performed. Materials Articles were searched in …

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 …
