Chemoradiotherapy of locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer

Abstract: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy improves overall survival compared with sequential chemotherapy followed by radiation. Adding induction or consolidation chemotherapy to chemoradiotherapy does not appear to improve the outcome. Chemotherapy based on cisplatin combined with radiation is recommended in stage III NSCLC. The standard dose and fractionation of radiotherapy are 60 Gy, one daily fraction of 2 Gy over 6 weeks. Targeted therapies and immunotherapy may improve the management of locally advanced NSCLC in the… Show more

“…Approximately 20–25% patients with NSCLC are diagnosed with locally advanced disease (stage III) and have poor survival [ 3 ]. For these patients, two standard treatment options are offered: the concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or induction chemotherapy followed by surgery [ 4 , 5 ]. However, even after complete resection and postoperative consolidation chemotherapy, 20–40% patients still have a risk of local recurrence [ 6 ].…”

“…The majority of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients present with locally advanced or metastatic disease, leading to limited therapeutic options and the overall 5-year survival rates of those patients was approximately 17%. 2,3 Therefore, understanding of tumour biology and pathogenesis of NSCLC is conducive to clarifying favourable response to targeted therapy.…”

“…2 Concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the established standard of care for unresectable stage III disease with evidence of better results compared with either modality used alone or sequentially. 3 Despite the Asian J Oncol 2019;5:56-63 dismal 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of 15 to 35% for stage IIIA and 5 to 10% for stage IIIB, 4 a subset of patients in these stages show significantly better OS. Conventional patient, tumor, and treatment related parameters often do no correlate with the survival outcome, largely due to complex interactions between tumor biology, tumor microenvironment, radiation dosimetry, and patient-related variables.…”
