Abstract

This is a retrospective, descriptive study aimed to assess the progression-free survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with concurrent chemoradiation therapy as etoposide/cisplatin chemotherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy and explore the factors associated with survival. The study is conducted with 37 patients diagnosed with staged-III non-small cell lung cancer patients at National Cancer Hospital from Jan 2018 to Jun 2022. The average progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.7 ± 1.4 months and the median progression-free survival was 14 ± 3.8 months. The 6-month and 12-month PFS was 81.1% and 54.7%, respectively. The average PFS for patients presented with ECOG 0 point and ECOG 1 point were 16.7 months and 10.2 month, respectively, and there was a significant difference between these groups (p = 0.03). Therefore, concurrent chemoradiation therapy as etoposide/cisplatin chemotherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy can significantly increased survival time for stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
