Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of 3‑dimensional conformal thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) on extensive‑stage small‑cell lung cancer (ES‑SCLC). A total of 165 patients with ES‑SCLC were enrolled in the present study, including 82 patients receiving chemotherapy combined with TRT (the ChT/TRT group) and 83 patients receiving chemotherapy alone (the ChT group). The overall survival (OS) and progression‑free survival (PFS) rates were compared between the ChT/TRT and ChT groups, and the prognostic factors for OS rate were identified. It was found that the patients had a median OS time of 15 months, and 2‑ and 5‑year OS rates of 31.5 and 2.4%, respectively. The 2‑ and 5‑year OS rates were 35.3 and 2.4% in the ChT/TRT group, and 14.5 and 2.4% in the ChT group, respectively (P<0.05). The 1‑ and 2‑year PFS rates were 35.4 and 6.0% in the ChT/TRT group, and 20.5 and 6.0% in the ChT group, respectively (P<0.05). The median PFS was 11 months in the 20 patients receiving TRT at 45 Gy/30 fractions twice daily, and 9 months in the 22 patients receiving TRT at 60 Gy/30 fractions daily (P=0.043). Multivariate analysis revealed that receiving ≥4 cycles of chemotherapy (P=0.001) and TRT (P=0.008) were favorable prognostic factors for OS. It was concluded that the addition of TRT improves the OS and PFS rates of patients with ES‑SCLC, and TRT administration at 45 Gy/30 fractions twice daily is feasible and tolerable for the treatment of ES‑SCLC. Thus, TRT and receiving ≥4 cycles of chemotherapy are independent, favorable prognostic factors for OS in patients with ES‑SCLC.
