Combination of Platinum Doublets and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in NSCLC

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Different chemotherapy and radiation regimens have been advocated but in general, cisplatin-doublets are deemed standard of care. Decreasing the overall treatment time of irradiation by hypofractionation is thought to increase the efficacy. Extensive experience is available on the combination of daily-dose cisplatin in combination with hypofractionated radiotherapy. However, no data is available on the safety of cisplatin doublets and hypofractionated radiotherapy
