ABSTRACT
Objective To prospectively study the relation between transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-?_1), V_(20) and lung function (PFTs) and radiation pneumonia (RP), as well as to set up a prediction model of RP. Methods From Jan 2004 to Dec 2005, 121 valid patients with esophageal carcinoma or lung cancer were treated with conventional thorax radiotherapy(RT) by 15 MV X-ray beams to a total D_T 60-68 Gy over 30-34 fractions in 42-46 days. All patients received chest CT scanning before RT. Dose volume his- togram(DVH) and V_(20) were obtained through 3-dimensional TPS. Serum TGF-?_1 and PFTs of the patients were measured both before and after RT as well as on the 20th day after the beginning of RT. RP was diag- nosed basing on contrasted CT and clinical symptoms. Results RP was diagnosed in 32 of all 121 pa- tients. The results of Logistic Regression Statistic showed that V_(20) and TGF-?_1 ratio (after RT/before RT) significantly influenced the incidence of RP. Patients with V_(20)≥30% had more RP than patients with V_(20)
