Everolimus-induced pneumonitis in neuroendocrine neoplasms: correlation of CT findings and clinical signs.

CONCLUSION: CT detects everolimus-induced pneumonitis at a subclinical stage. In this setting, CT findings, clinical severity, and PFT do not clearly correlate. Opacification pattern analysis seems to be of importance when assessing the severity of CT findings. Asymptomatic patients with positive CT findings should be closely monitored to timely initiate specific treatment. PMID: 32819165 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
