Long-term survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer( NSCLC) can be achieved more frequently with combined modality therapy. However, an increased risk of late treatment-related toxicities has been reported for this treatment strategy. We retrospectively evaluated NSCLC patients treated with chemoradiation therapy from January 1988 to January 2007. Patients who had survived for more than 5 years after treatment were included in an analysis of late adverse events (excluding radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis). A total of 188 NSCLC patients treated with chemoradiation therapy were evaluated, with 25 patients having survived for more than 5 years. Of these patients, 4 had stage I disease, 4 had stage IIB disease, 1 had stage IIIA disease, 14 had stage IIIB disease, 1 had stage IV disease, and 1 had disease of unknown stage. The following grade 3 late adverse events were noted: skin ulceration( n=1), skin induration( n=1), brachial plexopathy( n=1), malignant neoplasm( n=1). Adequate management of late adverse events due to chemoradiation therapy is needed for long-term NSCLC survivors. |
