Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the role of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) and serum surfactant protein D (SP‑D) level in the determination of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after thoracic radiotherapy (RT). The study included 34 treatments for 33 patients, including 16 three‑dimensional conformal and 18 stereotactic body RT treatments. eNO levels were measured prior to RT, immediately subsequent to RT, every week during the RT course and at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months following the treatment. The therapy reduced the eNO from 24.3±12.8 ppb prior to RT to 19.0±10.4 ppb immediately subsequent to RT (P=0.04). A total of 5 patients (14%) developed symptomatic RP of grade 2 or higher 3‑5 months later, and exhibited an eNO elevation of 2.1±0.68‑fold the minimum value, whereas the RP‑ group exhibited 1.4±0.6‑fold elevation (P=0.02). The sensitivity of a cut‑off of a 1.4‑fold increase in the eNO ratio at the onset of RP was 100%; however, the specificity was 52%, and no predictive alterations to eNO levels were observed prior to the onset of RP. RT was associated with an elevated serum SP‑D level at 3‑6 months after RT. There was a statistically significant difference in the initial serum SP‑D level between RP+ and RP‑ patients. In conclusion, obtaining the eNO ratio was a useful RP monitoring tool but did not predict RP occurrence in the present setting, whereas serum SP‑D level may be a potential predictor for the detection of RP risk.
