Patients with advanced lung cancer who have previously received immunocheckpoint inhibitor therapy, undergone chest radiation therapy again have developed radiation induced lung injury. Pirfenidone has anti-inflammatory and anti fibrosis effects. This study is intended to evaluate the effectiveness of pirfenidone combined with radiotherapy in the prevention of radiation pneumonitis.
