Objective To analyse the long-term effect of non-small cell lung cancer treated with either postoperative irradiation(group A) or intraoperative radiotherapy(IORT) followed by postoperative irradiation(group B).Methods 154 patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma were randomized into two groups(groups A and B) with 77 patients in each.There were 134 squamous,17 adenocarcinoma and 3 adeno-squamous carcinoma.Seventeen patients had stage Ⅰ,76 stage Ⅱ and 61 stage Ⅲ lesions.The dose of postoperative irradiation in both groups was D_T4060?Gy.In group B,the IORT dose was 15-25?Gy,delivered by 9-16 ?MeV electrons.Results The local control rate was 49% and 62% in groups A and B,respectively(P0.05).Sixteen patients died of radiotherapy-induced complication: 2 in group A and 14 in group B.Conclusions Intraoperative radiotherapy followed by postoperative irradiation can enhance the local control rate of non-small cell lung cancer but can not improve the long term survival. The high complication mortality rate of IORT(18%) in contrast to that(3%) of postoperative radiotherapy is worth noticing.

cases were histologically confirmed to be patients with squamous cell carcinoma, 4 cases to be patients with adenocarcinoma. The majority of the patients received stereotatic radiotherapy on the basis of external radiation. The single dose for stereotatic radiation was 5～10Gy, once every two days, 4～8 fractions, the total dose was 26～42 Gy by using 5～6 non-coplanar stationary beams or arc radiation. The patients′ CT was checked 2～3 months after treatment, there were 8 cases of CR( 26.7%), 18 cases of PR(60%),4 case of NR (13.3%).The median survival time was 12 months and the survival of 1 year and 2 years was 84 % and 61.2% (using Kaplan-Meier methods). The total effective rate was 86.7%. The results suggested that stereotatic radiotherapy (SRT) is effective for lung cancer at palliative and radical treatment. Combined with external irradiation, it can increase the doses of target and shorten the course of treatment.
