Abstract

Initial assessment of treatment results for stage II, III small cell lung cancer by concurrent chemoradiotherapy at the National Lung Hospital in 2016-2020. Subjects and methods: Observation of an uncontrolled retrospective clinical trial, we enrolled 71 patients with stage II, III small cell lung cancer to be recieved concurrent chemoradiotherapy with carboplatin and etoposide at the oncology department at National Lung Hospital from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020. Results: Median age 58.79±9.26, male/female ratio 34/1, performance status (PS)=0 (50/71, 70.42%), PS=1 (21/71, 29.58%), mainly TNM stage III (69/71, 97.18%) with IIIB (36/71, 50.70%) and IIIC (28/71, 39.44%). Complete response (12/71, 16.90%), partial response  (45/71, 63.38%), overall response rate (57/71, 80.28%), stable disease (3/71, 4.23%, progressive disease (11/71, 15.49%). The median follow-up period was 32 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 16.4 months and median overall survival (OS)  was 25 months, OS was affected by some factors such as age, PS. Acute hematological toxicity grade 3, 4 and 5 accounted for a fairly high rate ( 25/71, 35.21%). Non-hematological toxicity rates were very low, mainly grade 1 and grade 2, above grade 3 pneumonia (3/71, 4.23%), fever with leukopenia (5/71, 7.05%). Initial results of treatment of stage II, III small cell lung cancer by chemoradiotherapy  was high efficiency and safety.
