Asakura H, Hashimoto T, Zenda S, et al.
DoseLab summary
Thirty-seven patients given definitive chemoradiation for esophageal cancer. All lung dose–volume parameters studied, including the mean lung dose, were associated with symptomatic pneumonitis. Citation checked against Europe PMC; DoseLab has read only the abstract.
Why this is useful
Lung dose–volume predictors of pneumonitis after esophageal chemoradiation; cited for a mean lung dose limit.
