Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We hypothesized that the local control for both arms were not statistically significant, when irradiation to the post-induction chemotherapy tumor volume is compared with irradiation to the pre-induction chemotherapy tumor volume.While elective nodal irradiation will be omitted for both arms.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

study arm

For patients who are randomized to study arm, (i.e. to irradiate the post-chemotherapy tumor extent) the clinical target volume-tumor (CTV-T) includes the post-chemotherapy gross tumor volume-tumor (GTV-T) with a margin of 0.8 cm.

Chemotherapy includes etoposide 100mg/m2 d1-d3 combine with cisplatin 80mg/m2 d1 at 21-day interval for 4 cycles.

Radiotherapy will be administered with cycle 3 chemotherapy(1.5 Gy twice daily to 45 Gy in 30 fractions over 3 weeks)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

hyperfractionated radiation therapy for both arms

Intervention Type RADIATION

1.5 Gy twice daily to 45 Gy in 30 fractions over 3 weeks for both arms

control arm

For patients who are randomized to control arm, (i.e. to irradiate the pre-chemotherapy tumor extent) the clinical target volume-tumor (CTV-T) includes the pre-chemotherapy gross tumor volume-tumor (GTV-T) with a margin of 0.8 cm.

Chemotherapy includes etoposide 100mg/m2 d1-d3 combine with cisplatin 80mg/m2 d1 at 21-day interval for 4 cycles.

Radiotherapy will be administered with cycle 3 chemotherapy (1.5 Gy twice daily to 45 Gy in 30 fractions over 3 weeks).

* Weight loss was less than 10% within 6 months before diagnosis.
* Written informed consent was required from all patients.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients were ineligible if they had a history of other malignant diseases except for non-melanomatous skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or any contraindications for chemoradiotherapy, malignant pleural and/or pericardial effusion.
