Purpose: Survival for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) remains poor. Consolidative thoracic radiation therapy (cTRT) and upfront immunotherapy with chemotherapy have each incrementally improved patient outcomes, but have not yet been combined in clinical trials. We sought to characterize outcomes and toxicities after first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy followed by cTRT. Methods and Materials: Patients with ES-SCLC who were treated with first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy followed by cTRT were identified at 2 institutions. Patient outcomes including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival, local progression-free survival, distant progression free-survival, and toxicity were assessed. Results: Twenty patients were included in our data set treated from 2018 to 2021 with a median follow-up of 12 months. Median OS in this cohort was 16 months with 6-month OS of 94.7% and 12-month OS of 77.5% (comparable to historical controls). There were also low rates of toxicity, including 0% grade 3+ toxicity, 0% grade 2 pneumonitis, and 5% grade 2 esophagitis. Conclusions: Treatment of ES-SCLC with first-line chemoimmunotherapy followed by cTRT appears to be safe and to have outcomes comparable to published modern clinical trials. Further studies are warranted to determine the therapeutic effect of cTRT after chemoimmunotherapy. |
