January 25, 2021 updated by: Hui Liu, Sun Yat-sen University

Once-daily Simultaneous Modulated Accelerated Thoracic Radiotherapy Compared With Twice-daily Radiotherapy in Limited Small-cell Lung Cancer Treated Concurrently With Cisplatin and Etoposide

This Phase II randomized study is to determine whether once-daily simultaneous modulated accelerated thoracic radiotherapy (RT) resulted in better survival than twice-daily RT for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC).

Detailed Description

This Phase II randomized study is to determine whether once-daily (qd)simultaneous modulated accelerated thoracic radiotherapy resulted in better survival than twice-daily(bid) RT for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC).

All patients receive four to six cycles of etoposide and cisplatin (EP) every 3 weeks. Thoracic RT is initiated with cycle 1-3 of chemotherapy. Qd RT includes the delivery of 65 Gy in 26 fractions delivered on weekdays for a total of 33 days. Bid RT includes the delivery of 45 Gy in 30 fractions delivered on weekdays for a total of 19 days. After the chest RT and the last cycle of EP, prophylactic cranial irradiation is administered to those patients with a complete or partial remission.
