      Background:
      Concurrent chemoradiotheray is the standard of care for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but often accompanying with high toxicities and poor tolerability. Radiosensitization of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has been proved in preclinical studies, and the safety of TKI combined with thoracic radiotherapy has also been evaluated in several phase II trials.

      Methods:
      Patients with previously untreated, non-metastasis NSCLC, EGFR wild-type, Easter Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2 and acceptable organ function were eligible. The prescribed radiation dose was 60-70Gy, and both three dimensional conformal and intensity-modulated radiation therapies were allowed. TKI was administrated concurrently with thoracic radiotherapy. The primary endpoint was local-regional control; second endpoints included progression-free survival, overall survival and treatment-related toxicities.

      Results:
      Between 2012.1 and 2015.3, 12 eligible patients were recruited into this study, with an median age of 65 years (range 47 ~ 82 years), 1 female and 11 males. One of them was stage Ⅳ, two of them were stage Ⅱ and nine of them were stage Ⅲ. During the process of treatment, 2 (16.7%) of patients developed grade Ⅱ radiation pneumonitis and 9 (75.0%) developed level Ⅰ~Ⅱ hematological toxicity. Patients were followed up with a median follow-up time of 13 months (6~35months) and the last follow-up time was 2015.3. The results showed that 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates were 76.2% and 57.1%, respectively. 1-year and 2-year local recurrence-free survival rates (LRFS) were 62.2% and 62.2%, respectively. 1-year and 2-years PFS rates were 55.0% and 55.0% (see table), respectively.

      Conclusion:
      The preliminary results showed that concurrent thoracic radiotherapy and EGFR-TKI were safe and effective in NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR. This trial is on going.
