Abstract

We conducted in this paper a regression analysis of factors associated with acute radiation pneumonia due to radiation therapy for lung cancer utilizing cluster analysis to explore the predictive effects of clinical and dosimetry factors on grade ≥2 radiation pneumonia due to radiation therapy for lung cancer and to further refine the effect of the ratio of the volume of the primary foci to the volume of the lung lobes in which they are located on radiation pneumonia, to refine the factors that are clinically effective in predicting the occurrence of grade ≥2 radiation pneumonia. This will provide a basis for better guiding lung cancer radiation therapy, reducing the occurrence of grade ≥2 radiation pneumonia, and improving the safety of radiotherapy. Based on the characteristics of the selected surveillance data, the experimental simulation of the factors of acute radiation pneumonia due to lung cancer radiation therapy was performed based on three signal detection methods using fuzzy mean clustering algorithm with drug names as the target and adverse drug reactions as the characteristics, and the drugs were classified into three categories. The method was then designed and used to determine the classification correctness evaluation function as the best signal detection method. The factor classification and risk feature identification of acute radiation pneumonia due to radiation therapy for lung cancer based on ADR were achieved by using cluster analysis and feature extraction techniques, which provided a referenceable method for establishing the factor classification mechanism of acute radiation pneumonia due to radiation therapy for lung cancer and a new idea for reuse of ADR surveillance report data resources.
