ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect and complication of inductio n chemot herapy combined with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) for l ocally advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Ninety-two such pa t ients were randomized into radiation therapy alone group(RT-, 50 patients) and i nduction chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group (CMT-, 42 patients). The indu c tion chemotherapy consisted of 2-4 cycles of platinum-based regimen. Results Th e overall median survival time was 15 months with 12 months in the RT group and 18 months in the CMT group(P=0.014)respectively. The 1-year o verall survival rates were 48.6% and 71.2% in RT and CMT group,respectively (P=0.004). The 2-year survival rates w ere 20.8% and 37.6% in RT and CMT group, respectively (P=0.0 41). Treatment was w ell tolerated and the toxicities were similar in either group. C onclusion The ad dition of induction chemotherapy to 3DCRT takes a survival advantage over 3DCRT alone for Stage Ⅲ NSCLC without increasing toxicities.
