Patients and Methods: Between 2002 and 2017, 110 patients receiving hypofractionated PBT for cT1-2N0M0 NSCLC were reviewed. Results: Of the 110 patients, 17 were diagnosed with ILD. The median follow-up period was 37.8 months. No significant difference in the 1-year cumulative rate of grade ≥2 pneumonitis was observed between patients with and those without ILD (17.6% vs. 14.1%, p=0.708). The lung doses were significantly lower in patients with than in those without ILD among patients without grade ≥2 neumonitis. There were no significant differences in overall survival or local recurrence-free rates according to the presence of ILD. Conclusion: PBT appears to be a feasible and effective treatment for cT1-2N0M0 NSCLC in patients with ILD, but the lung dose should be strictly reduced.}, pages = {5635--5642}, title = {Hypofractionated Proton Beam Therapy for cT1-2N0M0 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease}, volume = {41}, year = {2021} }
