English term or phrase: lung breakthroug

The appropriate chart, as determined by the lung breakthrough, can then be cross-indexed
in order to calculate the activity of SIR-Spheres microspheres (GBq) to be implanted.
The 3 charts that follow are all based on different lung breakthrough percentages. These
are:
Chart 1: 0 – 10% lung breakthrough
Chart 2: 11 – 15% lung breakthrough
Chart 3: 16 – 20% lung breakthrough
If the lung breakthrough is higher than 20% then the patient is ineligible for SIR-Spheres
microspheres treatment.

Jag undrar om det syftar på procentandel av lungorna som är angripna av tumör, möjligen?

lunggenombrott

Explanation:
Tror inte det har att göra med tumör i lungorna. Tumören man skall behandla sitter väl i levern (men det skulle förstås kunna finnas primär- eller dottertumörer i lungorna också).

Jag tror i stället det har att göra med hur mycket av mikrosfärerna som sprids till lungorna. Man vill undvika för hög stråldos där, när det är levertumörerna som skall behandlas.

I brist på känd vedertagen term föreslår jag lunggenombrott.
