title: The CD36 dynamic change after radiation therapy in lung cancer patients and its correlation with symptomatic radiation pneumonitis.
abstract: This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between serum CD36 levels and radiation pneumonitis in 30 patients irradiated for lung cancer. We found CD36 may become an important index for predicting the occurrence and development of radiation pneumonitis and evaluating the curative effect.
