Preclinical Evaluation of Dose-Volume Effects and Lung Toxicity Occurring In and Out-of-Field [PDF]

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2019
The aim of this study was to define the dose and dose-volume relationship of radiation-induced pulmonary toxicities occurring in and out-of-field in mouse models of early inflammatory and late fibrotic response.Early radiation-induced inflammation and fibrosis were investigated in C3H/NeJ and C57BL/6J mice, respectively. Animals were irradiated with 20
