Pneumonitis After Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer

The patients are asked to complete a questionnaire (paper version) once a week during the period of radiotherapy and up to 24 weeks following radiotherapy. In this questionnaire, the patients are asked to state and rate their symptoms potentially associated with pneumonitis. Scoring points are assigned to the severity of the symptoms (symptom scores), and the resulting sum score (patient score) will be used for identification of radiation pneumonitis.

In 10 patients, the paper version of the symptom-based scoring system (questionnaire) will be supplemented by a mobile application (app) asking the same questions regarding symptoms potentially associated with pneumonitis.
