Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: What Is
Safe for Lung Parenchyma? (2018) Category: HyTEC Data were pooled from published reports to analyze dosimetric and clinical predictors of radiation-induced lung toxicity after thoracic stereotactic body radiation therapy. Most reviewed studies report safe treatment for mean combined lung dose <=8 Gy (3-5 fractions) and percent total combined lung V20 <= 10%-15%. Interstitial lung disease is a particular risk factor. More detailed dosimetric and endpoint reporting are needed to facilitate future development of accurate quantitative models of radiation-induced lung toxicity.
