Abstract
Radiation pneumonitis occurred in 17% of patients undergoing RT for NSCLC; with diagnostic uncertainty in 48% of these. Poor pre-RT pulmonary function increases the rate of “hard to score” pneumonitis. Dosimetric parameters are slightly better related to “unambiguous” than “hard to score” pneumonitis, as expected.
