Predictive markers of radiation pneumonitis.

چکیده
Radiation pneumonitis is an acute-phase response to radiation therapy and a common complication that affects a patient's quality of life. Under the need to reduce the incidence and severity of radiation-induced pulmonary complications as well as to identify patients at risk, several investigations on potential predictive markers of radiation pneumonitis have been conducted. The present study reviews the currently available knowledge on biomolecules of potential predictive value for radiation pneumonitis.

Predictive values of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 for radiation pneumonitis
Background: To investigate the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 in the plasma of patients with lung cancer who received radiation therapy (RT), and to analyze the correlation between these cytokines and radiation pneumonitis (RP). Materials and Methods: Patients with lung cancer who received 3D-CRT in our hospital were prospectively evaluated. Circulating cytokine levels were measured wit...
متن کاملA study on the esophageal cancer radiotherapy effects on the patient’s lung health
Introduction: Radiotherapy with or without surgery plays an important role in the treatment of patients with esophageal cancer. In the treatment planning of esophageal cancer, usually normal lung volume was observed in the treatment fields and probably received high radiation dose. The incidence of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after radiotherapy (RT) for sensitive organ of lu...

Introduction: The purpose in this study is to analyze of DVH parameters as predictors of radiation pneumonitis and investigation on the relationship between dosimetric and clinical parameters based on PFTs as response in NTCP model and therefore achieve to lung dose- response relation in breast cancer patients. Prescribed dose to treatment volumes was 50 Gy in 2.0 Gy/fractions ...
متن کاملAssociation between Genetic Variants in DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Pathways and Risk of Radiation Therapy-Induced Pneumonitis and Esophagitis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Radiation therapy (RT)-induced pneumonitis and esophagitis are commonly developed side effects in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with definitive RT. Identifying patients who are at increased risk for these toxicities would help to maximize treatment efficacy while minimizing toxicities. Here, we systematically investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within doubl...
