Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the response and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the National Lung Hospital. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 66 patients with stage IIIB NSCLC who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy at the National Lung Hospital. Key variables included response rate and treatment-related adverse events affecting hematologic, liver, and renal function. Results: The overall response rate was 81.8%, with a complete response rate of 9.1% and a partial response rate of 72.7%. Adverse events were primarily mild hematologic effects (78.8%), and no severe liver or kidney toxicity was observed. Conclusion: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is an effective treatment option for stage IIIB NSCLC, demonstrating high response rates and manageable safety profiles.
