摘要
Objective： The aim of our study was to explore the shortterm efficacy of platinumbased combined with concur rent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced nonsmallcell lung cancer （NSCLC）. Methods： Between 2006 to 2010, 78 cases of locally advanced NSCLC were enrolled into this trial. All patients were given platinumbased chemotherapy combined with concurrent threedimensional conformal radiotherapy （3DCRT）. Chest CT scans were obtained during endexpiratory and endinspiratory pauses when performing positioning. Image fusion was done after the image data was transferred to treat ment plan system （TPS）. The target volume was delineated on the fusion images. The chemotherapy was given on the first day of radiotherapy. Comprehensive examinations were conducted 46 weeks after concurrent chemoradiotherapy to assess shortterm efficacy. Results： Complete remission （CR） was achieved in 8 cases and partial remission （PR） in 54 cases. The efficiency rate reached 79.5%. Grade IllIV radiation esophagitis occurred in 11.5%. No exit and death cases during treat ment. Conclusion： Concurrent chemoradiotherapy could significantly improve the shortterm efficacy and prolong survival of stage III NSCLC, meanwhile the adverse reactions could be tolerated.
