Identifying the Optimal Radiation Dose in Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Definitive Radiotherapy without Concurrent Chemotherapy

The optimal radiation dose for patients with inoperable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are ineligible for concurrent chemoradiation remains unclear. In this retrospective, multivariate analysis of 336 patients treated with sequential chemoradiation or definitive radiation only, radiation dose >66 Grays (Gy) was superior to radiation dose <60 Gy for the endpoints of overall survival and local failure.
