Abstract: Objective:To investigate the predictive value of low dose volume of the lung on acute Radiation Pneumonitis（RP） in patients with esophageal cancer treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy（3D-CRT） only,and to analyze the relation of comprehensive parameters of the dose-volume V5,V20 and Meall Lung Dose（MLD） with acute RP. Methods:222 patients of esophageal cancer treated by 3D-CRT have been followed up.The V5-V30 and MLD were calculated from the dose-volume histogram system.The clini... More
