In Regard to Alam et al
I read with interest the paper by Alam et al published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics.1 Acute esophagitis (AE) is a common dose-limiting toxicity in radiation therapy (RT) of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The authors aimed to develop an early AE prediction model from weekly accumulated esophagus dose and its associated local volumetric change. Fifty-one patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer were treated via intensity modulated RT to 60 Gy in 2 Gy fractions with concurrent chemotherapy and had weekly cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
