      Background

      The interim analysis of our prospective trial, which compared irradiation to pre-chemotherapy or post-chemotherapy tumour extent while application of involved field radiotherapy (IFRT) for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC), showed that reduced field did not result in increased local/regional out-field recurrence. This report presents the final results of the clinical study with radiation dosimetric and pathologic analysis as interpretations.

      Chemotherapy consisted of 4 to 6 cycles of etoposide and cisplatin (EP). After 2 cycles of EP, patients were randomly assigned to receive thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) to either the post- or pre-chemotherapy tumour extent as study arm or control. TRT was administered concurrently with cycle 3 chemotherapy. IFRT was applied for both arms. The lymph node regions (groups 1 to 10) were contoured in treatment planning system. The intentional or incidental radiation doses to each lymph node regions were recorded. Patients with stage T1-2N0-1M0 SCLC received radical lobectomy. The minimal distances between microscopic nidus and the edge of gross tumor were measured. The clinical target volume of the primary tumor (CTV-T) was defined as the margins covering 95% of microscopic disease extension.

      Between June, 2002 and January, 2017, 159 and 150 patients were randomly assigned to study arm or control. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year local/regional progression free probability were 79.4%, 60.1% and 60.1% respectively in the study arm versus 79.8%, 64.5%, and 57.3% in the control (p=0.73). The median overall survival (OS) time was 22.1 months in the study arm (95% CI, 18.2-26.0) and 26.9 months (95% CI, 23.5-30.3) in the control, the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year OS rates were 81.1%, 31.6%, 23.9% and 22.2% respectively in the study arm versus 85.3%, 36.6%, 26.1% and 20.0% in the control arm (p=0.51). A total of 1680 lymph node regions in 105 patients were contoured. The lymph node regions that received incidental radiation doses over 30Gy were: 7, 3P, 4L, 6, 4R, 5 and 2L. Eight patients were enrolled in the pathologic evaluation of CTV-T. The median range of CTV-T in patients received or did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy were 0.4mm and 1.7mm respectively, a margin of 1.4mm and 10.2mm could cover 95% of microscopic nidus extension respectively (p=0.00).

      Irradiating post-chemotherapy tumour extent and applicant of IFRT didn't increase local/regional failure, and the OS difference wasn't statistically significant between the two arms. TRT could be limited to post-chemotherapy tumour extent, while IFRT could be routinely applied for limited-stage SCLC patients.
