Abstract

The superiority of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) over radiation alone in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been proven, but the relative merits of a concurrent schedule versus their sequential administration are less clear. This study compared the safety and efficacy of concurrent and sequential CRT, with chemotherapy (CT) consisting of a cisplatin and vinorelbine regimen, in patients with locally advanced NSCLC. One hundred and two previously untreated patients (aged 42-75 years) with locally advanced, stage IIIA (n = 15) or stage IIIB (n = 87) NSCLC were entered into the study. The CT schedule consisted of up to four cycles of cisplatin 80 mg/m(2) on day 1, and vinorelbine 25 mg/m(2) at the first and fourth cycles (12.5 mg/m(2) during the 2nd/3rd cycles) on days 1, 8, 15 of a 28-day cycle. Radiotherapy (RT) was prescribed at a dose of 60 Gy/30 fractions, given as five fractions per week for 6 weeks. In the concurrent arm (arm A), RT was started on day 4 of cycle 2; whilst in the sequential arm (arm B), RT started within 2 weeks after completion of CT. Fifty-two patients were randomized to concurrent treatment and 50 to the sequential schedule. Overall survival was significantly longer in arm A (median survival...Continue Reading
