    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pulmonology
    • Radiotherapy

    Background:

    • Pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, is an infrequent complication following chest radiation therapy.
    • The established theory suggests radiation-induced fibrosis leads to subpleural bleb rupture, causing pneumothorax.
