摘要

A retrospective review of 32 patients with stage III nonsmall cell lung cancer who underwent chemoradiation with image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) was recorded. Acute grade 3-4 hematologic and esophageal toxicities developed in 6 and 13 patients respectively. At a median follow-up of 14.5 months, only one patient developed grade 3 pneumonitis. The median survival was estimated to be 17 months. Five patients (15%) developed loco-regional recurrences, and 17 patients (53%) distant metastases. Grade 3-4 toxicities remained significant during chemoradiation with IGRT. However, the reduced rate of severe pneumonitis despite a high tumor dose is encouraging and needs to be investigated in future prospective studies.
