Abstract:whilst 72.2% were attributed to other causes, mostly by cardiovascular or respiratory underlying comorbidities. Cough, dermitis or dyspnea were described as mild (G1) acute toxicity in 7 patients. Chronic toxicity was G1 pneumonitis or fibrosis in 11 patients and one patient developed G5 hemoptysis in a local relapse context. Conclusions: Primary lung cancer VMAT based SBRT achieves good local control rates with a tolerable toxicity. Overall survival may be influenced by patient selection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
