Lead Sponsor:

Shanghai Cancer Hospital, China

Conditions:

Thoracic Neoplasms

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-75 years

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical, dosimetrical, functional, biological and genetic factors in predicting chemo-radiotherapy induced lung and esophagus injury.

Detailed Description

We propose a prospective study to investigate the combinational effect of radiotherapeutic dosimetric parameters \[mean lung dose and percentage of lung volume receiving at least XGy (Vx)\] and biolog...

Exclusion
