All these findings suggest that in the future there could be a non-negligible proportion of patients, possibly of young age, in need of thoracic RT and with undiagnosed pre-existing cardiopulmonary damage from asymptomatic COVID-19. 14 A new risk factor is henceforth likely to emerge for a nonnegligible percentage of patients in the already complex scenario of the identification of patient-specific susceptibility to radiation-induced toxicity. ./cache/cord-345976-z5gorbwp.txt ./txt/cord-345976-z5gorbwp.txt
