Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Histologically or cytologically (if cannot be proven histologically, at least twice positive findings on fine needle aspiration or sputum cytology) confirmed SCLC * Limited stage (Clinical stage I-IIIb, lesion limited to one side of thorax, e.g. Excluding T4 disease with malignant pleural effusion or N3 disease with contralateral hilum/supraclavicular lymph node invasion). * Measurable or assessable lesion * Age over 18 years old * Performance status (ECOG scale): 0\ 2 * Adequate organ functions: ANC ≥ 1500/ul, PLT ≥ 100 x 103/u, Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dl, Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl * Inclusion of tumor within the limited radiation field without significant loss of pulmonary function (confirmed by radiation oncologist) * Sexually active fertile men and women using a contraceptive method * Patients should sign a written informed consest before study entry
Exclusion criteria
* T4 disease with malignant pleural effusion; N3 disease with contralateral hilum/supraclavicular lymph node invasion * Lesion with mixed small cell nonsmall cell feature (pathologically) * prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy. * Pericardial or pleural effusion on chest X-ray image regardless of cytological finding * T4 disease with tumor invasion to great vessels, heart, trachea, or esophagus; Concerns about possible perforation by tumor necrosis * Severe comorbidities such as cardiac disease with symptom, myocardiac infarction within 6 months, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with FEV1 less than 1.0ℓ, or uncontrolled bronchospasm of unaffected lung * With atelectasis that makes GTV unidentifiable * Other primary malignancy (except in situ carcinoma of the cervix or adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin or prior malignancy treated more than 3 years ago without recurrence) * Uncontrolled psychiatric disorder, serious head injury, chronic alcoholism, drug addiction and central nervous system disease
