TLDR
Several treatment-related risk factors predict the development of symptomatic pneumonitis, and elderly patients who undergo CCRT with carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy are at highest risk.Abstract:
Background Radiation pneumonitis is a dose-limiting toxicity for patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We performed an individual patient data meta-analysis to determine factors predictive of clinically significant pneumonitis. Methods and Materials After a systematic review of the literature, data were obtained on 836 patients who underwent CCRT in Europe, North America, and Asia. Patients were randomly divided into training and validation sets (two-thirds vs one-third of patients). Factors predictive of symptomatic pneumonitis (grade ≥2 by 1 of several scoring systems) or fatal pneumonitis were evaluated using logistic regression. Recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was used to define risk groups. Results The median radiation therapy dose was 60 Gy, and the median follow-up time was 2.3 years. Most patients received concurrent cisplatin/etoposide (38%) or carboplatin/paclitaxel (26%). The overall rate of symptomatic pneumonitis was 29.8% (n=249), with fatal pneumonitis in 1.9% (n=16). In the training set, factors predictive of symptomatic pneumonitis were lung volume receiving ≥20 Gy (V 20 ) (odds ratio [OR] 1.03 per 1% increase, P =.008), and carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy (OR 3.33, P P =.09); the model remained predictive in the validation set with good discrimination in both datasets (c-statistic >0.65). On RPA, the highest risk of pneumonitis (>50%) was in patients >65 years of age receiving carboplatin/paclitaxel. Predictors of fatal pneumonitis were daily dose >2 Gy, V 20 , and lower-lobe tumor location. Conclusions Several treatment-related risk factors predict the development of symptomatic pneumonitis, and elderly patients who undergo CCRT with carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy are at highest risk. Fatal pneumonitis, although uncommon, is related to dosimetric factors and tumor location.read more

TL;DR: Methods to protect against radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) will facilitate the development of more effective radio-therapeutic protocols for lung cancer and may provide the means to protect the wider population in the event of a deliberate or accidental nuclear or radiological event.

TL;DR: This study reports toxicity outcomes and provides a dosimetric comparison with three‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), which provides the ability to reduce planned doses to healthy organs at risk (OAR) and can potentially reduce treatment‐related side effects.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional dose, volume, and outcome data for lung are reviewed in detail and it is confirmed that there is no evident threshold "tolerance dose-volume" levels and there are strong volume and fractionation effects.

TL;DR: An association between DVH parameters and RP risk has been demonstrated in the literature, but the ideal DVH metric with excellent operating characteristics, either alone or in a model with other predictive variables, for RP risk prediction has not yet been identified.

TL;DR: The incidence and grade of RP are significantly related to the V20 value, and V20 appears to be a factor that can be used to predict RP after concurrent chemoradiation for lung cancer.

TL;DR: Arm C was equally efficacious and exhibited a more favorable toxicity profile among three arms and should be considered a standard regimen in the management of locally advanced unresectable NSCLC.
