Safety and efficacy of thoracic radiotherapy combined with chemo-immunotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: a multicenter retrospective analysis

Abstract

TRT is a feasible treatment for patients who receive chemo-immunotherapy for the management of ES-SCLC in consideration of its considerable efficacy and tolerable safety risk. This treatment is especially useful for patients without primary liver metastasis and who receive consolidative TRT after chemo-immunotherapy. Large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of this treatment modality.
