Brief summary
Concomitant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment of locally advanced,non-resectable, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However,the optimal chemotherapy regimen is still controversial.The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a concomitant treatment using Erlotinib and radiotherapy followed by Erlotinib consolidation treatment.
Detailed description
Patients with non-resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer will receive thoracic radiation therapy 60-70 Gy over 30-35 fractions and concurrent with Erlotinib 150mg/day. Followed by Erlotinib 150 mg/day consolidation treatment.
Interventions
Erlotinib 150mg/day
60-70Gy/30-35f
