Objective To discuss the impact of 3D-CRT on the pulmonary function of patients of NSCLC.Method To select 80 NSCLC patients having received treatment at the Suining Central Hospital from June2011 to December 2013
adopt 3D-CRT on them
and discuss the impact of 3D-CRT on the pulmonary function of NSCLC patients through analysis of the data of indexes of the grades of acute radiation induced pneumonia
pulmonary function
and DVH parameters.Results All 80 patients completed their treatment smoothly
and29 of them showed different degrees of radiation induced pneumonia.Changes of varying degrees occurred before and after the radiotherapy in the numbers of FVC
FEV1 and DLCO.Conclusion Treating NSCLC with3D-CRT produces certain impact on the pulmonary function of the patients.It is thus advised to monitor and comprehensively analyze the changes in patients’pulmonary function before and after the radiotherapy
DVH parameters
and the grades of radiation induced pneumonia so as to reduce negative impacts of the radiotherapy on the pulmonary function of NSCLC patients.
