142 Survival outcomes for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (cCRT) patients in stage III lung cancer: Real world data from the northern centre for cancer care (NCCC) utilising 2 regimes.

Standard of care for stage-III un-resectable disease is cCRT. NCCC reviewed cCRT practices in 2020, introducing a stage-III MDT to optimise treatment pathways, with the aim of expanding inclusion of patients to reflect real-life local population. A concurrent regime of weekly carboplatin/paclitaxel (carbo/taxol) with 60 –66 Gy/ 2 Gy fractions was introduced for PS0-2 patients, alongside preexisting concurrent Cisplatin/Vinorelbine (Cis/Vin) with 55 Gy hypo-fractionated regime for PS0-1 patients. Adjuvant-durvalumab immunotherapy in appropriate patients was adopted.
