| Popis: | Objective: High-dose thoracic radiation therapy (HDTRT) alone has been an alternative to surgery in stage I/II non-small cell lung cancer patients with medical co-morbidities and/or poor performance status. Here, we report on the outcome and safety of HDTRT at 3.0 Gy per fraction for reduced treatment duration. Methods: HDTRT alone at 3.0 Gy per fraction was given to 35 patients (22 at stage I and 13 at stage II). The median age was 73 years old and 14 patients had ECOG performance above 2. The median radiation dose to the primary lesion was 60 (54 –6 6) Gy over 27 (23–38) days, and the dose to the mediastinum was individualized. Results: After the median follow-up of 24 (3 –7 2) months, local in-field progression developed in 11 patients (31.4%) and distant metastases in 14 (40.0%). The median survival period and the 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for all patients were 24.0 (95% CI: 13.57–34.43) months, 31.4 and 11.2%. Intercurrent deaths were observed in 11 patients. Treatment-related acute and subacute morbidities were observed in 20 patients (57.1%); however, there was neither treatment interruption nor long-term morbidity. Conclusions: On the basis of the above observations, we achieved treatment outcomes comparable with those of conventional protracted fractionation schedules at considerably shorter duration and lower cost by HDTRT at 3.0 Gy per fraction. |
