6-Year Experience of Concurrent Radiochemotherapy with Vinorelbine Plus a Platinum Compound in Multimorbid or Aged Patients with Inoperable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: After including a larger group of patients than in 2003 and following the patients for several years, the authors determine that concurrent RCT consisting of vinorelbine plus a platinum compound and conventional fractionated radiotherapy can be carried out with manageable toxicity, even in this negatively selected population of patients. Their survival rates were comparable to those achieved in other studies with simultaneous RCT.

“…However, their total radiation dose, overall treatment time and MED was in the expected range. The MED, which was according to literature and also in our se- ries highly associated with oesophagitis, was not significantly different between the sequential and concurrent groups [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. The incidence and severity of oesophagitis and of neutropenia in the chemoradiation group are also in line with published data [2,3,4,15,19].…”

“…Acute mucositis is one of the main severe toxicities that occur during and early after concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. On average, between 20% and 30% of patients will suffer from grade 3-4 acute oesophagitis, which requires tube or intravenous (i.v.)…”

“…Die multimodale Therapie mit Induktionschemotherapie oder simultaner Radiochemotherapie ist für jüngere Patienten heute zum Standard geworden. Die intensivierte Radiochemotherapie kann auch bei Patienten > 70 Jahre oder bei erheblicher Komorbidiät eingesetzt werden [46]. Für Patienten mit Stadium III NSCLC und gleichzeitigem Vorliegen eines eingeschränkten funktionellen Status oder schwerer Begleiterkrankungen stellt eine alleinige Radiotherapie eine attraktive Alternative zu einer kombinierten Therapie dar [46].…”

Für Patienten mit lokal fortgeschrittenem Tumor kam eine Meta-Analyse [47] zu dem Schluss, dass bei Patienten > 70 Jahre eine alleinige Radiotherapie in der besten Lebensqualität resultierte.…”

“…Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the mainstay treatments for SCLC, whereas platinum-containing chemotherapy is the primary regimen. For chemotherapy consisting of 4-6 courses of cisplatin or carboplatin with etoposide, the response rate is roughly 80% (5,6). Thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) administered in combination with anticancer agents is reported to increase the 3-year survival rate by 5% (7,8).…”
