Clinical and dosimetric factors for symptomatic radiation pneumonitis after stereotactic body radiotherapy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer

Background and purpose: The present study attempted to identify risk factors for symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and methods: We reviewed 244 patients with early-stage NSCLC...

description Background and purpose: The present study attempted to identify risk factors for symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and methods: We reviewed 244 patients with early-stage NSCLC treated with SBRT. The primary endpoint was the incidence of grade ≥2 RP. Gray’s test was performed to examine the relationship between clinical risk factors and grade ≥2 RP, and the Fine-Gray model was used for a multivariate analysis. The effects of each dose parameter on grade ≥2 RP were evaluated with the Fine-Gray model and optimal thresholds were tested using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: With a median follow-up period of 48 months, the 4-year cumulative incidence of grade ≥2 RP was 15.3%. Gray’s test revealed that tumor size, a central tumor, interstitial pneumonia, and the biologically effective dose correlated with RP. In the multivariate analysis, a central tumor and interstitial pneumonia remained significant factors (p < 0.001, p = 0.002). Among dose parameters, the total lung volume (%) receiving at least 8 Gy (V8), V10, V20, and the mean lung dose correlated with RP (p = 0.012, 0.011, 0.022, and 0.014, respectively). The results of the Fine-Gray model and ROC curve analyses showed that V10 >16.7% was the best indicator of symptomatic RP among dose parameters. Conclusion: The present results suggest that a central tumor and interstitial pneumonia are independent risk factors for symptomatic RP and lung V10 ≤16.7% is recommended as the threshold in SBRT.
