Bilateral diffuse grade 5 radiation pneumonitis after intensity modulated radiation therapy for localized lung cancer
We are reporting a case of fatal radiation pneumonitis that developed six months following chemoradiation for limited stage small cell lung cancer. The patient was a 67-year-old man with a past medical history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and remote suspicion for CREST, neither of which were active in the years leading up to treatment. He received 6600 cGy delivered in 200 cGy daily fractions via...
متن کاملExceptionally high incidence of symptomatic grade 2–5 radiation pneumonitis after stereotactic radiation therapy for lung tumors
BACKGROUND To determine the usefulness of dose volume histogram (DVH) factors for predicting the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after application of stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) for lung tumors, DVH factors were measured before irradiation. METHODS From May 2004 to April 2006, 25 patients were treated with SRT at the University of Tokyo Hospital. Eighteen patients had primar...
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 ...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung cancer
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has evolved over the past 15 years and revolutionized the management of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Compared to conventional radiation therapy, SBRT offers superior outcomes, lower costs and greater patient convenience.1 SBRT likewise offers local control and cancer outcomes approaching surgical resection2-8 with lower risk of treat...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiation therapy for inoperable early stage lung cancer.
CONTEXT Patients with early stage but medically inoperable lung cancer have a poor rate of primary tumor control (30%-40%) and a high rate of mortality (3-year survival, 20%-35%) with current management. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy in a high-risk population of patients with early stage but medically inoperable lung cancer. DESIGN, S...
