Evaluation of factors associated with loco-regional failure and survival in limited disease small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.

CONCLUSION: N3-stage was an independent prognostic factor for LRF. Receiving a pretreatment PET scan and receiving PCI were prognostic factors for improved OS. Reduction in LRF may be achieved with dose-escalation in patients with N3-stage. This can be evaluated in prospective dose-escalation trials. PMID: 26203924 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
