Chemoradiotherapy for limited-disease small-cell lung cancer in elderly patients aged 75 years or older.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:As clinical trials for limited-disease small-cell lung cancer often exclude elderly patients due to comorbidities and a decline in organ function, the most suitable treatment for limited-disease small-cell lung cancer patients aged 75 years or older still remains unclear. METHODS:From July 2002 to June 2011, 20 consecutive patients aged 75 years or older, with Stage II to IIIB limited-disease small-cell lung cancer, were scheduled to be treated with concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy at the Shizuoka Cancer Center. We reviewed the medical charts of the patients and evaluated their characteristics, treatment compliance, toxicity and antitumor efficacy. RESULTS:Five patients were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and the other 15 patients were scheduled to be treated with sequential chemoradiotherapy. Of these 15 patients, 12 were treated with four cycles of etoposide (80 mg/m(2), days 1-3, q3-4w) plus carboplatin (area under the curve 5, day 1, q3-4w), followed by thoracic radiotherapy. Of the five patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy, discontinuation of chemotherapy/thoracic radiotherapy occurred in two patients due to toxicity and they suffered a prolonged decrease in performance status. Of the 12 patients treated with etoposide plus carboplatin followed by sequential thoracic radiotherapy, the response rate, median progression-free survival and median overall survival time were 91%, 244 and 601 days. CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest that concurrent chemoradiotherapy is not feasible for all limited-disease small-cell lung cancer patients aged 75 years or older. The alternative of four cycles of etoposide plus carboplatin followed by thoracic radiotherapy is a candidate for the standard treatment of limited-disease small-cell lung cancer patients in this age group. A further trial is warranted to develop and evaluate the optimal treatment for elderly patients with limited-disease small-cell lung cancer.
