OPOmar Andrés Pantoja-BurbanoMAMaría Alejandra Amaya-TrigosFAFelipe Aluja-Jaramillo

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the complications associated with lung injury following precision radiotherapy in lung cancer treatment.
  • Investigated the evolution of lung injury after radiotherapy
  • Evaluated cases of delayed pneumonitis and fibrosis
  • Analyzed imaging characteristics mimicking tumor recurrence
  • Identified occurrence of delayed pneumonitis and fibrosis in patients post-radiotherapy
  • Documented cases where imaging showed similarities to tumor recurrence
  • Outlined challenges in differentiating between actual tumor recurrence and radiotherapy-induced injury

Abstract

Radiotherapy plays a key role in lung cancer management, with advanced precision techniques reducing damage to surrounding tissues but potentially causing delayed pneumonitis and fibrosis that can radiologically mimic tumor recurrence.
