Local Reirradiation of Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma Resulting in Long Disease-free Survival, Although in the Presence of Osteonecrosis.

High-dose reirradiation of the thorax can be offered to patients with only local disease progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) resulting in promising disease-free-survival. However, much is still unknown about related side-effects and occasionally an uncommon presentation can be caused by reirradiation. In this case report, we present a patient with a 3.5-year progression-free survival, although in the presence of a late, unexpected toxicity. A dosimetric analysis was performed to investigate the possibility of radiation-induced toxicity.
