Abstract:
Concurrent chemoradiation has been the main treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC).However, there is a controversy whether giving the induction chemotherapy before treatment.The survival advantage of consolidation chemotherapy doesn't reach a consensus.When the dose of initial chemotherapy is insufficient, consolidation chemotherapy is necessary.With the development of radiotherapy and the renewal of the chemotherapy drugs, concurrent chemoradiation is expected to bring better survival benefit for the patients with LA-NSCLC.
