Stephen Chun: Long-term outcomes of IMRT for locally-advanced lung cancer
Stephen Chun made the following post on X:
“Happy to report long-term outcomes of intensity modulated radiotherapy for locally-advanced lung cancer in JAMA Oncology. May this finally put an end to the debate on IMRT for NSCLC.”
Eric K. Singhi retweeted the post, added the following:
“Does IMRT improve outcomes v 3D-CRT for unresectable NSCLC?
- IMRT: 2x less severe pneumonitis, decrease cardiac exposure
- Lung V5 radiation no effect on survival/severe AEs
- <20% heart exposure to 40 Gy increase survival
Supports IMRT over 3D-CRT.”
