Radiation-associated pneumonitis following autologous stem cell transplantation: predictive factors, disease characteristics and treatment outcomesC I Chen
University of Toronto Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant Program, The Princess Margaret Hospital, Ontario, Canada
Bone Marrow Transplant 27:177-82. 2001..We conclude that radiation-associated pneumonitis cannot be easily predicted by pretransplant variables. Therefore surveillance, early recognition and prompt therapy are recommended...
