Omitting Clinical Target Volume in Radical Treatment of Unresectable Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Feasibility of Omitting Clinical Target Volume in Radical Treatment of Unresectable Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Simultaneous radiotherapy followed by adjuvant immunotherapy is the standard treatment modality of unresectable stage III NSCLC. Our preliminary study confirmed that the treatment of CTV-omitted IMRT regimen did not compromise the PFS or OS and significantly reduced the incidence of severe radiation pneumonia and radiation esophagitis.

The purpose of this study was to observe the role of radiotherapy modalities that omit CTV in the context of immunotherapy for NSCLC.

Inclusion Criteria:

• •Patients with advanced (Stage IIIA or IIIB AJCC 7) NSCLC that was histologically or cytologically inoperable

  • ECOG whole body status (performancestatus,PS) level 0 or 1
  • The estimated survival time is more than 12 weeks, 18 ~80 years old
  • Laboratory results within 2 weeks prior to radiotherapy met the following criteria: ① Neutrophil count > 1,500/ MCL Heathko-Pilot Oncology Research Fund; ② Platelet > 50,000/ MCL; ③ Total bilirubin < 1.5 times of the normal upper limit value; ④AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) < 2.5 times of the normal upper limit; ⑤ Serum creatinine < 1.5 times of the normal upper limit value; ⑥ The results of coagulation function examination were within the normal range
  • Women of childbearing age must have taken reliable contraceptive measures or conducted pregnancy tests (serum or urine) within 7 days before admission, and the results are negative, and are willing to use appropriate methods of contraception during the trial period and 8 weeks after the last administration of the trial drug. For men, they must agree to use appropriate methods of contraception or surgical sterilization during the trial period and 8 weeks after the last administration of the trial drug
