Description

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 radiation. Our aim was to investigate dose patterns associated with RP in patients enrolled in a randomized trial of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) versus passive scattering proton therapy (PSPT) for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
