Receipt of thoracic radiation therapy and radiotherapy dose are correlated with outcomes in a retrospective study of three hundred and six patients with extensive stage small-cell lung cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: TRT added to ChT improved ES-SCLC patient OS. High dose TRT improved OS over lower doses. Our results suggest that high-dose thoracic radiation therapy may be a reasonable consideration in select patients with ES-SCLC.
