Objective To study the effect of different dose fractionation on overall survival in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). Methods LS-SCLC patients treated with radical combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) between January 2001 and Dec 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the dose fractionation schemes, patients were divided into three groups:conventional fractionated RT (1. 8 -2.0 Gy,once daily), hyperfractionated RT (1.4 Gy, twice daily) and hypofractionated RT (2. 5 Gy,once daily). Overall survival, disease free survival and pattern of failures of the three groups were compared. A total of 177 patients were enrolled, including 63 patients in conventional fractionated RT group, 79 in hyperfractionated RT group and 35 in hypofractionated RT group. Results The overall follow-up rate was 96. 6%. The patient numbers with follow-up of more than 2 and 5 years were 153 and 92, respectively. The median survival time of the entire group was 22. 4 months, and the 2-and 5-year survival rates were 43.4% and 23. 5%, respectively. The 2-year survival rates for three groups were 31%, 46% and 59% (x2 =7.94,P=0.019), respectively. The 2-year disease free survival for three groups were 20%, 31% and 40% ( x2 = 4. 86, P = 0. 088 ), respectively. In the pairwise comparisons,patients in hypofractionated RT group have better survival than those in conventional fractionated RT group ( x2 = 7. 81, P = 0. 005 ), the effect of hyperfractionated RT group lies between the hypo-and the conventional fractionated RT groups, but no significant differences were detected ( x2 = 2. 31, P = 0. 128; x2 = 2. 95, P =0. 086). The mildest side effect was found in the hypofractionated RT group. No statistically significant differences were found in the patterns of first failure. Conclusion The hypofractionated RT scheme showed potential survival benefits for patients with LS-SCLC and should be considered in the setting of randomized clinical trials.

Objective To retrospectively design an intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) plan with split field and fixed jaw techniques for peripheral lung cancer with mediastinal lymph node metastasis, to compare dosimetric characteristics between the IMRT plans with fixed jaw and dynamic jaw, and to study lung protection by the plan with split field and fixed jaw. Methods Treatment plans were collected from 12 patients with peripheral lung cancer and mediastinal lymph node metastasis who were treated with IMRT in our hospital. All plans used the dynamic jaw technique. The plans with split field and fixed jaw were designed based on the identical computed tomography images and planning target volume ( PTV) . Each jaw position in split field depended on each separate PTV. The prescription dose was 60 Gy in 30 fractions. 95%PTV was planned to receive 100% of the prescription dose. Dosimetric parameters of PTV, conformity index ( CI) , heterogeneity index ( HI) , number of monitor units ( MUs) , and dose?volume values of the lung and heart were obtained from dose?volume histogram. Comparison between the two plans was made by paired t test. Results Both plans met clinical requirements. There were no significant differences in D2 , D98 , CI, or HI of PTV between the two plans ( all P>005) . Compared with the dynamic jaw plan, the fixed jaw plan had MUs increased by 15%?20%( P=0010) . The V5 , V10 , V20 , V30 , and mean dose for the whole lungs were significantly lower in the fixed jaw plan than in the dynamic jaw plan ( P=0000, 0000, 0000, 0002,0000) . The V5 , V20 , and mean dose for the healthy lung were also significantly lower in the fixed jaw plan than in the dynamic jaw plan ( P=0000,0017,0000) . There were no significant differences in dose?volume values for the spinal cord or heart between the two plans ( all P>005) . Conclusions IMRT with split field and fixed jaw is recommended for patients with peripheral lung cancer and mediastinal lymph node metastasis. The therapy to a certain extent reduces low?dose volume for the lung and the incidence of radiation?induced pneumonitis.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 genes(GSTM1 and GSTT1),and eval-uate the oxidative damage in patients with non-small lung cancer(N-SCLC). Methods A total of 110 patients with N-SCLC and 100 healthy indi-viduals were recruited in this case-control study. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction(PCR)analysis was used to identify the genotypes. The activi-ty of malondialdehyde(MDA),nitric oxide(NO),and the total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)were detected by spectroscopic analysis using assay kits. Results The frequencies of the GSTM1,T1,and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes in the patient group were significantly higher than those in control group(OR1=2.071,P1=0.009;OR2=1.900,P2=0.024;OR3=3.258,P3=0.003). The activity of MDA and NO were obviously higher in the pa-tient group compared with the control group(P<0.001),and T-AOC was obviously lower in patient group than those in control group(P<0.001). The activity of MDA,and NO were higher but the T-AOC were lower in patients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes than those in pa-tients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 present genotypes(P<0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that oxidative damage may play a impor-tant role in patients with N-SCLC,and the N-SCLC patients with GSTM1and GSTT1deletion genotypes are more susceptible to oxidative damage.
