Improving The Accuracy of Radiation Pneumonitis Dose Response Models
… The most prevalent thoracic toxicity is radiation pneumonitis. In order to determine a safe dose that can be delivered to the healthy lung, researchers have turned to mathematical models predicting the rate of radiation pneumonitis. However, these models rely on simple metrics based on …

Utilizing Computed to mography Image Features to Advance Prediction of Radiation Pneumonitis
… non-small-cell lung cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT) requires optimizing the balance between local tumor control and risk of normal tissue toxicity. In approximately 20% of patients, severe acute symptomatic lung toxicity, termed radiation pneumonitis (RP), still occurs. …

Ensemble Support Vector Machine Models of Radiation-Induced Lung Injury Risk
Patients undergoing radiation therapy can develop a potentially fatal inflammation of the lungs known as radiation pneumonitis: RP). In practice, modeling RP factors is difficult because existing data are under-sampled and imbalanced. Support vector machines: SVMs), a class of statistical learning …

Mechanisms Regulating Pulmonary Sensitivity to Radiation
… countermeasure (MCM) for mitigating or treating pneumonitis/fibrosis following acute radiation exposure. Since it is neither ethical nor feasible to evaluate potential MCMs against radiation injury in the clinical setting, the FDA permits MCM licensure under an alternative drug development …

Improving Dose-Response Correlations For Locally Advanced Nsclc Patients Treated With Imrt Or Pspt
… Despite recent advancements in radiation delivery methods, the median survival time of NSCLC patients remains below 28 months. Higher tumor dose has been found to increase survival but also a higher rate of radiation pneumonitis (RP) that affects breathing capability. In fear of …
