Intermediate Dose-Volume Parameters, Not Low-Dose Bath, Is Superior to Predict Radiation Pneumonitis for Lung Cancer Treated With Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy

Intermediate Dose-Volume Parameters, Not Low-Dose Bath, Is Superior to Predict Radiation Pneumonitis for Lung Cancer Treated With Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy

PurposeAlthough intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is now a preferred option for conventionally fractionated RT in lung cancer, the commonly used cutoff values of the dosimetric constraints are still mainly derived from the data using three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). We aimed...
