Abstract
In patients treated with induction cCRT, higher radiation doses result in increasing impairment of gas exchange. PARCs were more likely in those patients with lower lung volumes, lower post-cCRT Dlco, and in those receiving higher radiation doses. These acute respiratory complications were also associated with a significant reduction in patient survival.
