Diagnosis and management of pneumonitis following chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy in stage III non-small cell lung cancer

CONCLUSIONS: In patients treated using the PACIFIC regimen, multidisciplinary assessment of CT-scans, radiation doses and patient symptoms, resulted in fewer diagnoses of immune-related pneumonitis (8.9%). Our study underscores the challenges in accurately diagnosing either IO-related or radiation pneumonitis in patients undergoing adjuvant immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy and highlights the need for multidisciplinary review in order to avoid inappropriate cessation of adjuvant IO.PMID:38341099 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110147
