Pulmonary interstitial lymphography: A prospective trial with potential impact on stereotactic ablative radiotherapy planning for early-stage lung cancer

Radiother Oncol. 2023 Dec 30:110079. doi: 10.1016/j.radonc.2023.110079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis prospective feasibility trial investigated pulmonary interstitial lymphography to identify thoracic primary nodal drainage (PND). A post-hoc analysis of nodal recurrences was compared with PND for patients with early-stage lung cancer; larger studies are needed to establish correlation. Exploratory PND-inclusive stereotactic ablative radiotherapy plans were assessed for dosimetric feasibility.PMID:38163486 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2023.110079
