To examine the effects of dose-volume factors on the development of radiation pneumonitis in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who received twice-daily radiotherapy concurrently with carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy.Radiotherapy consisted of twice-daily fractionation of 1.2 Gy, to a total dose of 60 Gy. Weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel were used as a concurrent chemotherapy. Effects of radiotherapy parameters on the development of radiation pneumonitis were retrospectively analyzed.Fourteen of 37 patients developed Grade 2 or worse (>= G2) radiation pneumonitis. Grade 2 or worse radiation pneumonitis occurred in all 5 patients with V5 > 40%, all 4 patients with V10 > 35%, all 4 patients with V13 > 32%, 9 of 14 patients with V20 > 24% and 8 of 11 patients with V30 > 22%, whereas 9 of 32 patients with V5 < 40%, 10 of 33 patients with V10 < 35%, 10 of 33 patients with V13 < 32%, 5 of 23 patients with V20 < 24% and 6 of 26 patients with V30 < 22%, with respective P values of 0.0045, 0.015, 0.015, 0.015 and 0.008. Eight of 11 patients with a mean lung dose of > 14 Gy developed >= G2 radiation pneumonitis in contrast to 6 of 26 patients with a mean lung dose of < 14 Gy (P = 0.008).Several cut-off values in the V(dose) and the mean lung dose differentiating probabilities of developing >= G2 radiation pneumonitis were identified in this combination therapy.
