Abstrakt: Background: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been increasingly used as a new radiation modality for unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The risk factors for radiation pneumonitis (RP) during consolidation durvalumab following concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) using IMRT have not been thoroughly investigated.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed medical record data from consecutive patients diagnosed with NSCLC who underwent CCRT and consolidation durvalumab at our institution between April 2018 and September 2022. Since we adopted IMRT for the treatment of NSCLC in April 2020, these patients were categorized into two groups: those treated with IMRT after April 2020 and those treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) before April 2020.
Results: A total of 31 patients underwent IMRT (the IMRT group), while 25 patients underwent 3D-CRT (the 3D-CRT group). In both groups, the total dose was 60 Gy in 30 fractions. The cumulative incidence of ≥ grade 2 RP at 12 months was significantly lower in the IMRT group than in the 3D-CRT group (27.0% vs. 64.0%, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.338, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.144-0.793, p = 0.013). In the multivariable analysis, V20 (≥ 25.6%, HR: 2.706, 95% CI: 1.168-6.269, p = 0.020) and radiotherapy technique (IMRT, HR: 0.414, 95% CI: 0.172-0.994, p = 0.048) were identified as significant risk factors for ≥ grade 2 RP.
Conclusions: IMRT is associated with a lower rate of ≥ grade 2 RP in patients with NSCLC who received CCRT followed by durvalumab.
