Popis: Highlights • First study to investigate lymphopenia in NSCLC with postoperative radiotherapy. • Radiation-induced lymphopenia is common is this population. • Lymphopenia is correlated with radiation fraction number and total mean lung dose. • Lymphopenia is an independent risk factor for PFS and OS, particularly in stage III NSCLC.
Purpose To investigate the incidence and prognosis of severe radiation-induced lymphopenia (sRIL) after postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for resected NSCLC. Patients and methods Between 1998 and 2017, 170 patients treated with PORT for NSCLC were retrospectively reviewed. Lymphopenia was divided into tertiles with severe lymphopenia defined as absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC)
