•
The constraints for pneumonitis will cover late effects as
well
•
Suggested constraints
–
≤ 10 Gy mean lung dose should be obtained in all but the
most challenging cases
–
10 – 13.5 Gy mean lung dose: acceptable, but consider the
risk of pneumonitis
–
> 13.5 Gy mean lung dose: consider omission or modification
of plan
Pulmonary late effects
