Clinical outcome and predictors of survival and pneumonitis after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) can achieve excellent local control rates in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has emerged as a standard treatment option for patients who cannot undergo surgery or those with isolated recurrences. However, factors that may predict toxicity or survival are largely unknown. We sought here to identify predictors of survival and...
متن کاملRecall lung pneumonitis due to carmustine after radiotherapy.
A patient who developed pneumonitis immediately after the administration of carmustine (BCNU), within exactly the same field as previous irradiation, is presented. The patient responded partially to corticosteroids. This case suggests that irradiation causes subclinical sensitisation of the lung and can therefore have an additive effect in precipitating lung damage when another pulmonary toxin ...
متن کاملPre-radiotherapy FDG PET predicts radiation pneumonitis in lung cancer
BACKGROUND A retrospective analysis is performed to determine if pre-treatment [18 F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) image derived parameters can predict radiation pneumonitis (RP) clinical symptoms in lung cancer patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS We retrospectively studied 100 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent FDG P...
متن کاملRadiation recall pneumonitis induced by chemotherapy after thoracic radiotherapy for lung cancer
BACKGROUND Radiation recall pneumonitis (RRP) describes a rare reaction in previously irradiated area of pulmonary tissue after application of triggering agents. RRP remains loosely characterized and poorly understood since it has so far only been depicted in 8 cases in the literature. The objective of the study is to disclose the general characteristics of RRP induced by chemotherapy after tho...
متن کاملDosimetric factors predicting radiation pneumonitis after CyberKnife stereotactic body radiotherapy for peripheral lung cancer
OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to investigate the frequency of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) after CyberKnife lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and to evaluate predictive factors of symptomatic RP. METHODS 56 patients with peripheral non-small-cell lung cancer were treated using the CyberKnife® VSI™ System (Accuracy Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) between May 2013 and September ...
