Benefits of IGRT: 1.  Ensure proper daily alignment of patient - Verify proper targeting of tumors 2.  Assess response of tumors during  RT course -  Adapt treatment to the changing tumor  during course of RT IGRT
4DCT based respiration-gated RT Radiation beam ‘on’ Treatment  beam fixed in space  and gated to  turn on  only when the target (or surrogate signal) comes  into the pre-planned area

Editor's Notes

  1. High energy photons (15MeV, 18MeV, etc) may be preferable when used to treat larger GTV’s (gross tumor volumes) surrounded by consolidated and/or atelectic lung tissue, bulky lymphadenopathy or large blood vessels, thus achieving a better dose distribution and also an improved therapeutic ratio.
  2. Conc&gt;seq but not for all patients Short overall treatment time- reduces risk of repopulation and better for patient convenience
  3. def. 2 cycles of cisplatin-based CT preceding chest RT improved survival with median survival increased to 14 months and 5-year survival to 17%. Subsequent randomized trials and meta-analyses confirmed these results, and combined therapy is recommended in the ASCO guidelines.
  4. All received cisplatin 50 mg/m2 d1, 8, 29, 36 and etoposide 50 mg/m2 d1-5, d29-33 (PE) and RT to 45 Gy starting day 1. Arm 1 had resection if no progression (PD), then PE X2; Arm 2 completed RT to 61 Gy with PE X2.

  6. In their comparison of sequential versus concurrent chemoradiation, Curran and colleagues studied 595 evaluable patients, using Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) protocol 94-10. Patients were randomized to 1 of 3 arms: Sequential—patients received vinblastine 5 mg/m 2 weekly x5; cisplatin 100 mg/m 2 on days 1 and 29; standard radiation therapy (RT) to 60 Gy, starting on day 50 Concurrent/qd—patients underwent chemotherapy as in the sequential arm; standard RT to 60 Gy, starting on day 1 Concurrent hyperfractionated—patients received oral etoposide 50 mg bid x 10 days on weeks 1, 2, 5 and 6; cisplatin 50 mg/m 2 on day 1, 8, 29, and 36; hyperfractionated RT to 69.6 Gy (1.2 Gy bid), starting on day 1 Curran W, Scott C, Langer C, et al.

  9. IFI arm achieved better overall response rate (90% vs. 79%, P = 0.032) and better 5-years local control rate . The radiation pneumonitis rate in patients with IFI was lower than in patients with ENI (17% vs. 29%, P = 0.044), and similar trends appeared in the radiation esophagitis, myelosuppression, and radiation pericarditis between 2 study arms, although not significantly. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 60.4%, 25.6%, and 18.3% for the ENI arm and 69.9%, 39.4%, and 25.1% for the IFI arm, respectively. Only the 2-year survival rates were statistically significant (P = 0.048).
  10. Consolidation docetaxel after PE/XRT results in increased toxicities but does not further improve survival compared with PE/XRT alone in patients with stage III inoperable NSCLC. Terminated early on the basis of futility after an interim analysis febrile neutropenia (10.9%) and pneumonitis (9.6%); 28.8% of patients were hospitalized during docetaxel ( v 8.1% in observation arm), and 5.5% died as a result of docetaxel.
  11. evaluated whether induction chemotherapy before CCRT would result in improved survival and demonstrated no significant benefit from the addition of induction chemotherapy.
  12. The primary objective of this analysis was to dichotomize patients into prognostic groups using factors predictive of survival and to investigate whether induction chemotherapy was beneficial in either prognostic group. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the impact on survival of the following factors: (&gt;or=70 versus &lt;70 years), gender, race, stage (IIIB versus IIIA), hemoglobin (hgb) (&lt;13 versus &gt;or=13 g/dl), performance status (PS) (1 versus 0), weight loss (&gt;or=5% versus &lt;5%), treatment arm, and the interaction between weight loss and hgb. RESULTS: Factors predictive of decreased survival were weight loss &gt;or=5%, age &gt;or=70 years, PS of 1, and hgb &lt;13 g/dl (p &lt; 0.05). Patients were classified as having &gt;or=2 poor prognostic factors (n = 165) or &lt;or=1 factor (n = 166). The hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival for the patients with &gt;or=2 versus patients with &lt;or=1 was 1.88 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.49-2.37; p = &lt;0.0001]; median survival times observed were 9 (95% CI, 8-11) and 18 (95% CI, 16-24) months, respectively. There was no significant difference in survival between treatment arms in patients with &gt;or=2 factors (HR = 0.86, 95% CI, 0.63-1.17; p = 0.34) or &lt;or=1 factor (HR = 0.97, 95% CI, 0.70-1.35; p = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS: There is no evidence that induction chemotherapy is beneficial in either prognostic group.

  14. In this unselected population, gefitinib did not improve survival. Decreased survival was a result of tumor progression and not gefitinib toxicity.
  15. Role of RT SCLC is modest because only one third of patients present with localized disease. Concomitant chemoradioterapy is standard of treatment for this group of pts. A meta-analysis of trials comparing chemotherapy alone to chemoradiotherapy reported a modest improvement in survival rates for patients treated with combined-modality therapy. OS after 3 years was 8.9% in the chemotherapy group compared with 14.3% in the combined-modality group. At 2 years, the local failure rate was 23% for irradiated patients and 48% for nonirradiated patients ( P = 0.0001).
  16. The survival at 5 years as a function of the start of any treatment and the end of radiotherapy (SER). The relative risk for the 5-year survival is significantly in favor of the study arms with the lowest SER ( P = .0003). (B) The survival at 5 years as a function of the timing of the chest radiotherapy. The RR for the 5-year survival is significantly in favor of the study arms with early radiotherapy ( P = .007).
