Objective To investigate the effects of different metastatic sites on the prognosis of extensive?stage small cell lung cancer ( SCLC ) . Methods A retrospective analysis was performed among 322 patients pathologically or cytologically diagnosed with extensive?stage SCLC ( stage ⅠV defined by the seventh edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer) who were admitted to our hospital from 2011 to 2015. In those patients, 246 had primary lesions with distant metastasis and 76 primary lesions with non?regional lymph node metastasis;261 had single?organ metastasis and 61 multi?organ metastases. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan?Meier method. Between?group comparison of the survival was made by the log?rank test. A multivariate prognostic analysis was made by the Cox proportional hazard model. Results In all the patients, the median survival time ( MST) was 11. 7 months;1?and 2?year overall survival ( OS) rates were 47. 9% and 19. 5%, respectively. The patients with single?organ metastasis had significantly longer MST and significantly higher 1?and 2?year OS rates than the patients with multi?organ metastases ( 12. 4 vs. 8. 9 months;52. 5% vs. 30. 5%;21. 9% vs. 11. 2%;P=0. 014) . In the patients with single?organ metastasis, those with liver metastasis had the worst prognosis with a MST of 8. 5 months, while those with non?regional lymph node metastasis had the best prognosis with a MST of 14. 5 months ( P= 0. 001 );there was no significant difference in the prognosis between patients with metastasis to different organs other than the liver ( P=0. 139) . In the patients with multi?organ metastases, those with liver metastasis and bone metastasis had the worst prognosis ( P=0. 016,0. 006);there was no significant relationship between brain metastasis and the prognosis of extensive?stage SCLC with multi?organ metastases ( P=0. 995) . There was no significantdifference in the prognosis between those with liver metastasis only and multi?organ metastases ( P=0. 862) . Conclusions Liver metastasis predicts the worst prognosis in patients initially diagnosed with extensive?stage SCLC and single?organ metastasis. Liver metastasis and bone metastasis predict the worst prognosis in patients with multi?organ metastases. Brain metastasis has no significant effect on the prognosis. There is no significant difference in the prognosis of extensive?stage SCLC between patients with single?and multi?organ metastases once liver metastasis occurs.

Objective To investigate the effects of different chemoradiotherapy ( CRT) schemes on the prognosis of extensive?stage small?cell lung cancer ( SCLC ) . Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 322 patients with extensive?stage SCLC who were admitted to our hospital from 2011 to 2015.All patients received standard EP/CE ( etoposide+cisplatin/carboplatin) chemotherapy. According to RECIST criteria, the efficacy of chemotherapy was divided into complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease ( PD). A total of 232 patients without PD after chemotherapy were enrolled as subjects and divided into radiotherapy group (n=187) and non?radiotherapy group (n=45).The patients undergoing radiotherapy were further divided into early radiotherapy group ( before 3 cycles of chemotherapy, n=65) and late radiotherapy group (after 3 cycles of chemotherapy, n=122),or concurrent CRT group ( n=45 ) and sequential CRT group ( n=142 ) . The survival rates were analyzed using the Kaplan?Meier method. Between?group comparison was made by log?rank test. The Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results In all the patients, the median overall survival ( OS ) , progression?free survival (PFS),and local recurrence?free survival (LRFS) time was 13?2,8?7,and 14?6 months, respectively. The non?radiotherapy group had significantly shorter median OS, PFS, and LRFS time than the radiotherapy group ( 8?7 vs. 15?0 months, P=0?00;5?6 vs. 9?8 months, P=0?00;5?9 vs. 19?2 months, P=0?00).There were no significant differences in median OS, PFS, or LRFS time between the early radiotherapy group and the late radiotherapy group ( 15?4 vs. 14?6 months, P=0?720;8?0 vs. 10?8 months, P=0?426;19?2 vs. 18?1 months, P=0?981) . The concurrent CRT group had significantly longer median OS time than the sequential CRT group (19?4 vs. 13?8 months, P=0?036),while there were no significant differences in median PFS or LRFS time between the two groups ( 10?8 vs. 9?8 months, P=0?656;19?8 vs. 17?8 months, P= 0?768 ) . Generally, patients undergoing radiotherapy had increased incidence rates of adverse reactions than those without radiotherapy (P=0?038).However, the incidence rates of grade ≥3 adverse reactions were similar between the two groups ( P=0?126) . Conclusions In the treatment of extensive?stage SCLC, thoracic radiotherapy improves the treatment outcomes without increasing the incidence rates of severe adverse reactions. When to receive radiotherapy has nothing to do with the prognosis. Concurrent CRT may further improve the treatment outcomes, which still needs further studies.
