Long-Term Results of a Trial of Concurrent Chemotherapy and Escalating Doses of Radiation for Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: NCCTG N0028 (Alliance).

TLDR
The median survival of the stage III patients was quite favorable, and it is believed that this may have been due to a robust central review program of radiotherapy plans before treatment, ensuring compliance with protocol guidelines along with very low exposure of the heart to radiotherapy.

Advances on chimeric antigen receptor-modified T-cell therapy for oncotherapy.

TL;DR: The history and evolution ofCAR-T is described, the structure and preparation of CAR-T are generalized, the latest advances on CAR-Ts in different tumor types are summarized, and the current challenges and prospects are presented to provide guidance for subsequent research.

Durvalumab after concurrent chemotherapy and high-dose radiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report their experience with durvalumab after high-dose radiotherapy in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dose escalation to 84 Gy with concurrent chemotherapy in stage III NSCLC appears excessively toxic: Results from a prematurely terminated randomized phase II trial.

TL;DR: Dose-escalated concurrent chemoradiotherapy to 84 Gy to primary tumor and nodal disease is hazardous, with a high risk of excessive toxicity, whereas modern standard dose chemoradaotherapy with proper staging given in the control arm shows a promising outcome with a median survival of 45 months and a 3-year survival of 56% (NCT01664663).
Journal ArticleDOI

The cardiac toxicity of radiotherapy - a review of characteristics, mechanisms, diagnosis, and prevention.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed recent researches about cardiac toxicity of radiotherapy in clinical characteristics, mechanisms, diagnosis, and prevention, and concluded that early diagnosis and interventions for the prevention of RIHD are crucial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiotherapy Dosing for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: "MTD" or "ALARA"?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present rationale for further studies of radiotherapy dose escalation as well as arguments for exploring relatively low radiotherapy doses for locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC).

Cancer statistics, 2016

TL;DR: Overall cancer incidence trends are stable in women, but declining by 3.1% per year in men, much of which is because of recent rapid declines in prostate cancer diagnoses, and brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death among children and adolescents.

Chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer: A meta-analysis using updated data on individual patients from 52 randomised clinical trials

TL;DR: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that chemotherapy may have a role in treating non-small cell lung cancer, and reached conventional levels of significance when used with radical radiotherapy and with supportive care.

Phase III Study of Concurrent Versus Sequential Thoracic Radiotherapy in Combination With Mitomycin, Vindesine, and Cisplatin in Unresectable Stage III Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: In selected patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, the concurrent approach yields a significantly increased response rate and enhanced median survival duration when compared with the sequential approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized trial of induction chemotherapy plus high-dose radiation versus radiation alone in stage III non-small-cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: In patients with Stage III non-small-cell lung cancer, induction chemotherapy with cisplatin and vinblastine before radiation significantly improves median survival and doubles the number of long-term survivors, as compared with radiation therapy alone.
