receiving IMRT had a more than two-fold reduction in severe lung inflammation compared to those who received 3D-conformal radiotherapy , 3.5% versus 8.2%.by Stephen Chun, M.D., associate professor of Radiation Oncology.than 3D-CRT, which translated into a clinically meaningful benefit to patients," Chun said.
