Radiation pneumonitis is a potentially devasting,complication of thoracic radiotherapy for which effective therapies are non-existent. We propose to investigate strategies aimed at attenuating lung vascular permeability with respect to their therapeutic potential in radiation pneumonitis. These studies will focus on sphingolipids in this regard and will leverage the other studies proposed in this PPG for this purpose.
