Comparative StudyImpact of the Radiation Dose on Survival after Radiochemotherapy for Small-cell Lung Cancer.
Radiochemotherapy for small-cell lung cancer may not be sufficiently tolerated by all patients. To contribute to better personalization of the radiochemotherapy programs, this study compared two radiotherapy doses and 10 characteristics for survival. ⋯ This study identified several independent predictors of survival after radiochemotherapy of small-cell lung cancer. A radiation dose of ≥56 Gy resulted in better survival than lower doses.
