Patients treated for lung cancer may develop lung toxicity induced by chemotherapy (DILD), radiation or combined radiation recall pneumonitis. In the literature, some cases of immune-mediated pneumonitis have been reported associated with immunotherapy. The clinical and radiologic features of interstitial lung toxicity are unspecific, dyspnoea and dry cough are the most common symptoms while the most frequent radiological pattern is the cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP). Why only some individuals treated with these drugs develop interstitial lung toxicity is unclear.In the last few years some studies have reported the utility of KL 6 for the evaluation of DILD. The treatment is based on high doses of systemic steroids or immune suppressor. In this study we report severe interstitial lung damage in patients treated with different anti-blastic, immune and radiation therapies. Treated with surgery, chemotherapy, immuno and radiotherapy for lung cancer, they unfortunately died of severe DILD.

88 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors can cause immune-related pneumonitis in lung cancer patients. Some of those patients with history of previous thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) are reported to show radiation recall pneumonitis (RRP) pattern. In this multicenter retrospective study, we analyzed the patient background and clinical characteristics of RRP. Methods: Medical records of non-small cell lung cancer patients, who received nivolumab between December 2015 and March 2017, were retrospectively reviewed. Incidence of pneumonitis, and incidence, risk factors and clinical characteristics of RRP were analyzed at 5 institutions. Person’s chi-square test (age, sex, smoking history, performance status at the start of nivolumab treatment, background lung disease, history of previous radiation pneumonitis, total dose, volume receiving more than 20Gy, 30Gy, mean lung dose of TRT, and duration after TRT) was conducted to identify potential risk factors of RRP. RRP was defined as fibrosis or consolidation occurring in the previous TRT field, and imaging analysis was conducted by two individual radiologists. Results: A total of 669 patients were evaluated, and the incidences of all-grade and ≥ grade 3 pneumonitis were 8.8% (59/669) and 6.2% (18/669), respectively. Incidence of RRP was 5.4% (14/257) among patients with history of previous TRT. There were no significant risk factors for RRP. Although we did not find significant difference between the severity of RRP pattern and other radiological patterns of pneumonitis, patients with RRP showed better outcome. All patients recovered from RRP without no exacerbation or death, compared to 9.3% of exacerbation or death in other patterns of pneumonitis. Conclusions: Incidence of RRP was 5.4% among patients with history of previous TRT, although there were no significant risk factors of RRP. Patients with RRP pattern showed relatively better outcome.
