Abstract

Technological innovations have changed the landscape of diagnosis and treatment of limited-stage small cell lung cancer. Advances including positron emission tomography (PET) staging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and dose escalation using image guided radiation therapy have been introduced into practice without phase III evidence. To determine the impact of these technologies on outcomes for limited-stage small cell lung carcinoma (LS-SCLC) in the contemporary period, we retrospectively reviewed patients definitively treated for this disease during the last decade at our institution.
