Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity (DL<sub>CO</sub>) Correlates with CT Morphology after Chemo-Radio-Immunotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Stage III

Introduction: Curatively intended chemo-radio-immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stage III may lead to post-therapeutic pulmonary function (PF) impairment. We hypothesized that the decrease in global PF corresponds to the increase in tissue density in follow-up CTs. Hence, the stud...
