Résumé

In case of refusal or contraindication for surgical management of a stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma, the validated alternative therapy is stereotactic irradiation. This technique reaches an equivalent tumour control rate than surgery and significantly higher than conventional radiotherapy. One of the dreaded complications is radiation induced lung toxicity (radiation pneumonitis and lung fibrosis), especially when it is symptomatic, occurring in about 10 % of cases. This article is a literature review of this complication's predictive factors.
