    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    2. Transfer Coefficient for nitric oxide (DLNO/VA) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    3. Transfer Coefficient for carbon monoxide (DLCO/VA) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    4. Ratio of DLNO and DLCO [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    5. Alveolar-capillary membrane-diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DMCO) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    6. Pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      This variable is a calculated variable. The course over time will be described.

    7. Alveolar Volume (VA) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      This variable is a calculated variable. The course over time will be described.

    8. Fractional concentration of exhaled nitric oxide at a flow rate of 50mL/s (FENO50) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    9. Concentration of nitric oxide in the gas phase of the alveolar or acinar region (CANO) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    10. Tissue concentration of nitric oxide of the airway wall (CawNO) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    11. Airway compartment diffusing capacity of nitric oxide from the of of the airway wall to the gas stream (DawNO) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    12. Total flux of nitric oxide in the conducting airway compartment (JawNO) [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    13. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    14. Forced vital capacity [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.

    15. Forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of forced vital capacity [Before start of radiation therapy (RT), at the day of end of RT, 6 weeks and 12 months after end of RT]

      The course over time will be described.
