    Abstract: e21065 Background: RP is a clinically challenging side effect following SBRT. The reported incidence of RP varies from 2.2% to 46.8%, depending on study design and different grading systems. We evaluated the grading systems for RP and identified possible predictive tests for RP. Furthermore, we estimated the correlation between RP and dosimetric measurements from the radiation therapy. Methods: Medically inoperable patients, n = 44, with peripherally located NSCLC stage I-II, were treated with SBRT, with a total dose of 45–56 Gy in 3–8 fractions. Median age was 75 years, 43.2% were female and 60% had moderate to very severe COPD. Follow up included physical examination by pulmonologist, spirometry and single-breath lung diffusing capacity (DLCO) and CT evaluation at baseline and 1.5, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after SBRT. Results: We constructed three groups for grading RP based on CTCAE version 5.0 and imaging changes according to EORTC (LENT-SOMA) Non-RP (asymptomatic or mild symptoms and slight imaging changes, n = 19, 43%), Asymptomatic, radiology-only RP (asymptomatic or mild symptoms, increased density imaging changes, n = 17, 39%) and Symptomatic and radiology-detected RP (moderate and severe symptoms and increased density imaging changes, n = 8, 18%). Active smokers and patients with emphysema were overrepresented in non-RP group. In the symptomatic RP group, DLCO and FEV1 dropped almost 5% 4-6 weeks after SBRT, before symptoms and imaging changes, and DLCO, FVC and FEV1 dropped significantly at 3 months (table). Development of RP was associated with critical dose-volume parameter 1000ccm and 1500ccm. Several dosimetric parameters significantly negative correlate with FVC-drop at 1 and 3 months only in symptomatic RP. Conclusions: Active smokers and patients with emphysema have less propensity of RP. Symptomatic RP is seen with a presymptomatic drop in FEV1 and DLCO occurring 4-6 weeks after SBRT. Critical dose-volume parameter is important parameters for RP. Correlation between dosimetric parameters and FVC-drop in symptomatic RP. Clinical trial information: NCT02428049 . [Table: see text]

    Abstract: The present study explores changes in pulmonary function, symptoms and radiological signs of pneumonitis after curatively intended stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Methods All inoperable, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) from 2014-2017 were included in this single-centre study. They were followed regularly for 12 months after treatment. The patients were classified into three groups based on radiology and symptomatology: no radiation pneumonitis, asymptomatic and symptomatic radiation pneumonitis. Results Forty-four patients with stage IA-IIB disease were treated with 45–56 Gy in 3–8 fractions. The median age was 75 years, 43% of the patients were female; 60% of the patients had a COPD in GOLD grade of 2-4, and 95.5% were active or former smokers. Symptomatic radiation pneumonitis occurred in 18% of the patients and asymptomatic pneumonitis as defined by radiology, in 39%. The mean of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) decreases for all patients during the first years were higher than one would expect from physiologic ageing. FEV1 and DLCO in percent decrease 7-8% at 1-1.5 months in the symptomatic radiation pneumonitis group. CT scan findings consistent with radiation pneumonitis occurred after a median of 2.9 months in the symptomatic and 5.4 months in the asymptomatic radiation pneumonitis groups. In the group with symptomatic radiation pneumonitis, symptoms, as measured by the Clinical COPD questionnaire score, significantly increased at 3 and 6 months. Significant higher maximum doses to the critical lung volumes DC1000cm 3 (1000 cm 3 of lung receiving a given dose or less) and DC 1500cm 3 (1500 cm 3 of lung receiving a given dose or less) were observed in patients who developed radiation pneumonitis. Conclusion Early decrease in measured FEV1 and DLCO occurred before imaging changes and symptoms and might indicate the development of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis. The dose to critical lung volumes of DC1000 cm 3 and DC1500 cm 3 may predict the risk for the development of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis.
