predictive factors of radiation-induced lung toxicity in lung cancer patients: a retrospective study
background: radiation-induced lung toxicity is an important dose-limiting toxicity in lung cancer radiotherapy, for which there are no generally accepted predictive factors. this study seeks to identify risk factors associated with the development of severe radiation-induced lung toxicity using clinical and dosimetric parameters. methods: we reviewed the medical records of 54 patients with hist...

متن کاملAcute esophageal toxicity in non-small cell lung cancer patients after high dose conformal radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To correlate acute esophageal toxicity with dosimetric and clinical parameters for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) alone or with chemo-radiotherapy (CRT). PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the data of 156 patients with medically inoperable or locally advanced NSCLC. Seventy-four patients were irradiated with high dose RT only, 4...
متن کاملExpression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and the association with Demographic and Prognostic Factors in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Introduction: Growth, proliferation, survival, and differentiation are the prominent characteristics of cells, which are affected by cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in the effective control of these features. Given the significance of EGFR signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR expression is influential on these cell characteristics. I...
