RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the sequential chemoradiotherapy of GP(GEM+DDP) versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy for localized Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).METHODS: 64 patients with stage Ⅲa and Ⅲb NSCLC were divided into two groups: Sequential group were treated with gemcitabine(1 250 mg?m-2,on d1 and d8),cisplatin(30 mg?m-2 on d1～d3) followed radiotherapy;synchronous group were treated with gemcitabine(1 000 mg?m-2,on d1 and d8),cisplatin(20 mg?m-2 on d1～d3) plus concurrent radiotherapy.RESULTS: There was no difference in short-term efficacy and toxicity between the two groups but significant difference was noted in long-term effect.CONCLUSION: There were no difference between GP sequential treatment and concurrent chemoradiotherapy for localized NSCLC in short-term effect and toxicity,but synchronous group was better than sequential group in long-term effect.
