Purpose or Objective

The aim of this study was to compare concurrent

concurrent arm

versus sequential chemotherapy

sequential arm

with hypofractionated radiotherapy in

the treatment of inoperable locally advanced non-small

cell lung cancer

NSCLC

)(

stage

A or

B

by using

meta-analysis. The primary objective of this study was to

compare the outcomes including tumor response and

overall survival (OS) between sequential arm and

concurrent arm. The secondary objective was to compare

the progression-free survival (PFS) and late adverse event

between the two arms.

Material and Methods

Relevant studies were identified through searching

PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases till July,

2016. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI)

was used as pooled statistics for all analyses.

Results

The analysis was conducted based on the data from 3

studies with 370 patients. The pooled data showed that 3

years OS was not improved in concurrent arm compared to

sequential arm [OR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.42-1.24, P=0.235] .

Whereas the combined results for 1-year OS was OR=1.64,

95% CI

1.03-2.61

P=0.037. There was no significant

difference of 1- year PFS [OR=1.16, 95% CI

0.72-1.84

P=0.542] between these arms. Moreover, no significant

difference was found regarding tumor response [OR=1.02,

95% CI

0.48-2.19

P=0.950] and Grade≥3 late adverse

events [OR=1.42, 95% CI

0.77-2.60

P=0.261].

Conclusion

Our meta-analysis demonstrated that concurrent arm was

not significantly better than sequential arm in clinical

outcomes.

Purpose or Objective

Definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a

standard treatment for locally advanced non-small-cell

lung cancer (NSCLC); however, no consensus exists

regarding the most therapeutically effective radiotherapy

schedule. In this study, we directly assessed the local and

regional pathological effectiveness of CRT using either

accelerated hyperfractionation (AHF) or conventional

fractionation (CF) by retrospective histopathologic

examination of resection specimens after CRT.

Material and Methods

Data were analyzed from NSCLC patients treated with

induction-concurrent CRT followed by thoracotomy

between October 2006 and June 2015 in our hospital. All

patients received three cycles of induction platinum-

based doublet chemotherapy and concurrent radiotherapy

using either AHF (42 Gy/1.5 Gy bid) or CF (50 Gy/2 Gy qd).

The pathological responses of primary tumor and

metastatic lymph nodes after induction CRT were assessed

using resection specimens. The differences in pathological

responses between the AHF and CF groups were analyzed

using Fisher's exact test.

Results

A total of 51 patients were treated with induction CRT

followed by thoracotomy. There were 39 male (76%) and

12 female (24%), with a median age of 62 (range, 43–78)

years. All patients had a performance status (PS) score

[Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)] of 0. Of the

51 patients, 7 were diagnosed with clinical stage IIB

disease, 34 with clinical stage IIIA disease and 7 with

clinical stage IIIB disease. The histologic subtypes were

adenocarcinoma in 29 patients (59%) and squamous cell

carcinoma (SqCC) in 22 patients (41%). No significant

differences existed between the AHF and CF groups in

gender, age, clinical stage or histology. A total of 40

patients (78%) had experienced lymph node metastasis

before treatment. Patients received radiotherapy using

AHF in 17 cases and CF in 34 cases. All patients underwent

thoracotomy after induction CRT. The median duration

between the last day of radiotherapy and the day of

operation was 35 days (range, 16–70). The pathologic

complete response (pCR) rates in the primary tumor and

dissected lymph nodes are shown in Table 1. The pCR rates

of adenocarcinoma after induction CRT in the AHF and CF

groups were 41% (7/17) and 24% (8/34) in the primary

tumor and 50% (8/16) and 50% (12/24) in the dissected

lymph nodes, respectively. The pCR rates of SqCC after

CRT in the AHF and CF groups were 75% (6/8) and 29%

(4/14) in the primary tumor and 63% (5/8) and 64% (7/11)

in dissected lymph nodes, respectively. The SqCC in the

primary tumor had significantly higher pCR rates under

AHF compared to CF (p = 0.02). However, the pCR rates of

adenocarcinoma after CRT in the AHF and CF groups were

similar in both the primary tumor and dissected lymph
