Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All patients received weekly docetaxel(25mg/㎡) and nedaplatin or cisplatin (25mg/㎡), each of 1 day's duration, concurrently with hypofractionated radiotherapy .
Meanwhile they received weekly thymosin a1(1.6mg) during and within 2 months after the end of chemoradiotherapy.

Expeiment
HRT using the IMRT technique was administered. For patients with limited pulmonary or pleural metastases (≤3 lesions), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) could be used.
