Abstract

Objectives: to evaluate initial results of concurrent chemoradiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. Methods: Clinical trial, no control group. From January 2015 to January 2019, we enrolled 45 limited-stage small cell lung cancer. All patients were treated concurrent chemoradiation – thoracic RT 60Gy – 2Gy/fraction plus Etoposide-Cisplatin x 4 cycles.  We assessed response rate and toxicity. Results: Clinical features: median of age 46,1. Chest pain is the most common symptoms (37,8%). The average tumor size is 2.6cm. Mediastinal node metastasis rate was 68,9%. Small cell carcinoma has highest rate 95,6%. Efficacy: 91,2% of patients were treated with 85-100% standard dose of chemotherapy. Overall response rate was 97,8%. Complete response rate was high with 97,8%. Treatment was well tolerated. The most common toxicity was neutropenia, almost grade I and II, other toxicities were less common. Heart failure and lung fibrosis was 2,2% and mild with no symptoms. Conclusion: Concurrent chemoradiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer is feasible and high efficacy.
