Radiotherapy plays a vital role in the treatment of small cell lung carcinoma. Nevertheless, it has recently become a subject of controversy. Local recurrences are frequently the cause of therapeutic failure in localized stages. The analysis of randomized trials has not clearly established the role of radiotherapy in the improvement of survival. The quality of radiotherapy, the dose, the volume, the fractionation as well as combined radiotherapeutic/chemotherapeutic regimens appear to be important factors.
放射治疗在小细胞肺癌的治疗中起着至关重要的作用。然而，近来它已成为一个有争议的话题。局部复发常常是局限性阶段治疗失败的原因。随机试验的分析尚未明确确立放射治疗在提高生存率方面的作用。放射治疗的质量、剂量、体积、分割方式以及放射治疗与化疗联合方案似乎都是重要因素。
