Concomitant chemiotherapy of irinotecan plus cisplatin and conformal therapy for non-small cell lung cancer
Objective To study the feasibility of irinotecan plus cisplatin and image-guided radiotherapy in treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Twelve patients with locally advanced NSCLC and a performance status of 0 or 1 were eligible. The protocol consisted of escalating doses of irinotecan on days 1
8 and 15
and cisplatin (75 mg/m
2
administered equal split doses on days 1-3) for a total of 2 to 3 cycles combined with concurrent kV-CBCT guided 3D conformal radiotherapy (2.0 Gy daily for a total dose of 66 Gy). Results The maximum tolerable dose o
f irinotecan was 60 mg/m
2
and the dose-limiting toxicity was neutropenia and esophagitis. Tumor response was observed in 75% cases. The median survival time of the 12 patients enrolled was 11.5 months
and no symptomatic pneumonitis or esophagitis presented. Conclusion Accompanied by conformal therapy
