Chest wall pain following lung stereotactic body radiation therapy using 48 Gy in three fractions: A search for predictors

摘要

Purpose. - Chest wall pain is an uncommon but bothersome late complication following lung stereotactic body radiation therapy. Despite numerous studies investigating predictors of chest wall pain, no clear consensus has been established for a chest wall constraint. The aim of our study was to investigate factors related to chest wall pain in a homogeneous group of patients treated at our institution.
