Pooled Analysis of Individual Patient Data on Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Stage III Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer in Elderly Patients Compared With Younger Patients Who Participated in US National Cancer Institute Cooperative Group Studies

Abstract: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is standard treatment for patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer. Elderly patients may experience increased rates of adverse events (AEs) or less benefit from concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Our work thus builds upon recent evidence suggesting radiation therapy be reconsidered in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.…”
