Abstract

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for intra-thoracic malignancies continues to be an evolving therapeutic option for many cancer patients. Due to the high dose per fraction delivered, such treatments also deposit significant doses within the chest wall, potentially resulting in inflammation, pain, or rib fracture. We investigated the potential associations between these complications with chest wall dose and post-treatment positron emission tomography (PET) SUV in patients treated with thoracic SBRT.
