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 …

Methods: Of the 110 patients that were reviewed, 86 were chosen for a retrospective
analysis. A diagnosis of RP was made based on clinical assessment in the first 6 to 12 …

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 …

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

Purpose: To evaluate clinical and lung dose–volume histogram based factors as predictors
of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in lung cancer patients (PTs) treated with thoracic irradiation …

Chemo-radiotherapy and systemic therapies have proven satisfactory outcomes as standard
treatments for various thoracic malignancies; however, adverse pulmonary effects, like …

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 …

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 …
