Abstract

Pathologic complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RTx/CTx) is related to long-term survival for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and is a surrogate marker for local effectiveness. Repopulation is a problem for fast growing tumors and accelerated-hyperfractionation (AHF) has been proven to be superior in SCLC. For NSCLC, data are missing up to now that demonstrate progress over conventionally fractionated (CF) RTx/CTx to lead a way for further treatment optimization.
