Abstract: Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment for patients with lung cancer. hTree-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) are widely used to deliver radiation. Here, we focus on the correlations between dose distribution in lung and radiation pneumonitis according to the analysis about radio-therapy for lung cancer: A lot to a little or a little to a lot, which is the main cause of radiation pneumonitis?
