Higher Dose Volumes May Be Better for Evaluating Radiation Pneumonitis in Lung Proton Therapy Patients Compared With Traditional Photon-Based Dose Constraints

PURPOSE: The dosimetric parameters used clinically to reduce the likelihood of radiation pneumonitis (RP) for lung cancer radiation therapy have traditionally been V20Gy ≤ 30% to 35% and mean lung dose ≤ 20 to 23 Gy; however, these parameters are derived based on studies from photon therapy. The pur...
