Machine learning highlights the deficiency of conventional dosimetric constraints for prevention of high-grade radiation esophagitis in non-small cell lung cancer treated with chemoradiation

Background and Purpose: Radiation esophagitis is a clinically important toxicity seen with treatment for locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer. There is considerable disagreement among prior studies in identifying predictors of radiation esophagitis. We apply machine learning algorithms to ide...
