Key Points

The aim is to investigate the complications associated with lung injury following precision radiotherapy in lung cancer treatment.
Investigated the evolution of lung injury after radiotherapy
Evaluated cases of delayed pneumonitis and fibrosis
Analyzed imaging characteristics mimicking tumor recurrence
Identified occurrence of delayed pneumonitis and fibrosis in patients post-radiotherapy
Documented cases where imaging showed similarities to tumor recurrence
Outlined challenges in differentiating between actual tumor recurrence and radiotherapy-induced injury

Abstract

Radiotherapy plays a key role in lung cancer management, with advanced precision techniques reducing damage to surrounding tissues but potentially causing delayed pneumonitis and fibrosis that can radiologically mimic tumor recurrence.
