Case report: Chest radiotherapy-induced vertebral fractures in lung cancer patients: a case series and literature review
Despite their low incidence, radiotherapy-induced vertebral fractures in LC patients are clinically significant and may resemble bone metastases on PET-CT imaging. MRI, alongside risk factors similar to those of osteoporosis, can facilitate prompt identification and differentiation. As survival rates in LC patients improve, the relevance of this adverse effect increases, underscoring the need for implementing bone protective strategies to further enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
