Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) encompasses any lung toxicity induced by radiation
therapy (RT) and manifests acutely as radiation pneumonitis and chronically as radiation …

Radiotherapy is used in> 50% of patients with cancer, both for curative and palliative
purposes. Radiotherapy uses ionizing radiation to target and kill tumour tissue, but normal …

Purpose Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is associated with excess toxicity
following treatment of central lung tumors. Risk-adapted fractionation appears to have …

Radiation-induced lung injury encompasses radiation-induced pneumonitis, inflammation of
the lung which may manifest as a dose-limiting acute or subacute toxicity, and radiation …

Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of localized primary malignancies
involving the chest wall or intrathoracic malignancies. Secondary effects of radiotherapy on …

Purpose Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is commonly associated with thoracic radiation
therapy, and its incidence is related to dose and volume of the normal lung in the path of …

Background The use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) as primary treatment for
early stage non–small-cell lung cancer, or for ablation of metastases, has increased rapidly …

Background Pneumonitis is a common complication for patients with locally advanced non-
small cell lung cancer undergoing definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). It remains unclear …

Background. Radiation-induced lung damage (RILD) is an important problem. Although
physical parameters such as the mean lung dose are used in clinical practice, they are not …

Purpose Radiation pneumonitis is the most severe dose-limiting complication in patients
receiving thoracic radiation therapy. The aim of this study was to quantify global lung …
