Ultrasound B-lines for detection of late lung fibrosis in breast cancer patients after radiation therapy.

CONCLUSION: RT in female breast cancer survivors is associated with increase in B-lines in the targeted hemithorax, likely due to lung fibrosis, and related to the lung mean dose. LUS can provide a simple "echo-marker" of lung fibrosis. PMID: 30575565 [PubMed - in process]
