Radiotherapy for SCLC: Proving the Feasibility of A Higher Dose

Mar 8, 2021 High-dose, accelerated radiotherapy brings better 2-year overall survival, with no added toxicity In patients with limited stage, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), hyperfractionated, accelerated, twice-daily thoracic radiotherapy (60 Gy) was feasible, and higher doses brought about significant improvements in two-year and median overall survival compared with the standard dose and schedule (45 Gy), with no additional toxicities, according to a study published in “To our knowledge, the two-year overall survival in our trial is the highest reported in trials in limited stage SCLC, including all trials of high-dose, once-daily thoracic radiotherapy, and adds to the evidence suggesting that accelerated, hyperfractionated thoracic radiotherapy is the most effective approach in this disease,” wrote Bjørn Henning Grønberg, MD, of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway, and colleagues.
