小细胞肺癌放射治疗新进展——东西方的探索

Advances in radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer in the East and West

小细胞肺癌（SCLC）是我国肺癌常见类型之一,90年代后,SCLC的全身治疗方面没有令人兴奋的进展,但是放疗在SCLC中的应用研究取得了部分进展,为SCLC治疗疗效的提高提供了可能,这些进展主要包括广泛期SCLC的胸部放疗及脑预防照射、局限期SCLC胸部放疗剂量及放疗技术的研究、早期SCLC脑预防照射的价值研究等。笔者就其内容在东西方研究的进展加以综述,希望能带给读者一些帮助和借鉴。

Small cell lung cancer （SCLC） is one common type of lung cancer in China. No remarkable progress has been made in systemic therapy for SCLC since the 90’s. However, there are some advances in radiotherapy （RT） for SCLC, which make it possible to improve treatment outcomes of SCLC. Those advances are mainly made in thoracic RT and prophylactic cranial irradiation for extensive-stage SCLC, radiation dose and technology of thoracic RT for limited-stage SCLC, and significance of prophylactic cranial irradiation for early-stage SCLC. The paper reviews the research advances in the East and West to provide some help and references for readers.
