The randomized unicentric study was conducted to compare the efficacy of two chemoradiotherapy regimens for 67 patients with locally advanced small cell lung cancer. Group A patients (n=33) were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy consisting of cisplatin 80 mg/m2 on day 1 and etoposide 120 mg/m2 on days 1 to 3 and external beam radiotherapy in fraction of 1.5 Gy twice daily until a totall dose of 60 Gy to the tumor and 44 Gy to the regional lymph nodes. Following chemoradiotherapy, chemotherapy alone was administered for 2 cycles in the same dose. Group B patients (n=34) received 2 cycles of the above chemotherapy regimen followed by external beam radiation therapy concurrently with the 3-rd and the 4-th cycles of chemotherapy. Response rates were 81.8 % and 76.5 % in Group I and Group II, respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed (p=0.61). Adverse events were observed more frequently in Group A patients than in Group B patients. The median interval between treatments was 15 days for Group A and 12 days for Group B.
