Predicting Radiation Pneumonitis After Chemoradiation Therapy for Lung Cancer: An International Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis
Abstract: Background Radiation pneumonitis is a dose-limiting toxicity for patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We performed an individual patient data meta-analysis to determine factors predictive of clinically significant pneumonitis. Methods After a systematic review of the literature, data was obtained on 836 patients who underwent CCRT in Europe, North America and Asia. Patients were randomly divided into training and validation sets (2/3 vs. 1/3 of …

“…Our all-grade pneumonitis incidence was 26.6% (181, N=680) while the incidence of pneumonitis Grade ≥3 was 13% (89, N=680) as compared to 19% and 11% (36 and 21, N=188) in Voong’s study. Our RP incidence was much lower and not consistent with the reported 40% in the Palma et al study [ 10 ]. However, the 40% referred to the estimated average range of 13% to 37% based on findings of two other studies; the first had a protocol of high radiation dose (66 Gy) and the second used a calculation that "overestimated the actual observed rated for RP" [ 11 ].…”

“…In our study, the high-grade group received a higher mean radiation dose but lower V20 than the low-grade group. This finding is contrast with the meta-analysis published by Palma et al [ 32 ] The absence of a significant association in this study between RP grade and radiation parameters could be due to the limited sample size, the small differences among patients with regards to the radiation dose and biological predisposition [ 9 ].…”
