Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically or cytologically (if cannot be proven histologically, at least twice positive findings on fine needle aspiration or sputum cytology) confirmed SCLC
  • Limited stage (Clinical stage I-IIIb, lesion limited to one side of thorax, e.g. Excluding T4 disease with malignant pleural effusion or N3 disease with contralateral hilum/supraclavicular lymph node invasion).
  • Measurable or assessable lesion
  • Age over 18 years old
  • Performance status (ECOG scale): 0~2
  • Adequate organ functions: ANC ≥ 1500/ul, PLT ≥ 100 x 103/u, Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dl, Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl
  • Inclusion of tumor within the limited radiation field without significant loss of pulmonary function (confirmed by radiation oncologist)
  • Sexually active fertile men and women using a contraceptive method
  • Patients should sign a written informed consest before study entry

Exclusion Criteria:

  • T4 disease with malignant pleural effusion; N3 disease with contralateral hilum/supraclavicular lymph node invasion
  • Lesion with mixed small cell nonsmall cell feature (pathologically)
  • prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
  • Pericardial or pleural effusion on chest X-ray image regardless of cytological finding
  • T4 disease with tumor invasion to great vessels, heart, trachea, or esophagus; Concerns about possible perforation by tumor necrosis
  • Severe comorbidities such as cardiac disease with symptom, myocardiac infarction within 6 months, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with FEV1 less than 1.0ℓ, or uncontrolled bronchospasm of unaffected lung
  • With atelectasis that makes GTV unidentifiable
  • Other primary malignancy (except in situ carcinoma of the cervix or adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin or prior malignancy treated more than 3 years ago without recurrence)
  • Uncontrolled psychiatric disorder, serious head injury, chronic alcoholism, drug addiction and central nervous system disease
