Impact of Unsuccessful Steroid Tapering on Survival in Patients Treated for Radiation Pneumonitis Following Definitive Radiation for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Patients with RP who experienced unsuccessful tapering of steroids due to rebound of respiratory symptoms had a significantly higher risk of progression and death compared to RP patients with successful tapering of steroids. More frequent surveillance may be considered in those patients.
