This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of chemotherapy before (I-CRT) or after (CRT-C) chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). According to the object response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), there were no differences among I-CRT, CRT, and CRT-C treatments. I-CRT did not have significant survival benefits compared with CRT alone. Similar results comparing CRT-C with CRT were observed. Furthermore, I-CRT was not associated with improved survival compared to CRT-C with respect to OS and PFS. Our meta-analysis suggests the effects of additional chemotherapy added to CRT were limited for unselected LA-NSCLC.
本荟萃分析旨在评估不可手术局部晚期非小细胞肺癌(LA-NSCLC)患者在放化疗(CRT)前(I-CRT)或后(CRT-C)进行化疗的疗效。根据客观缓解率(ORR)和疾病控制率(DCR),I-CRT、CRT 和 CRT-C 治疗之间无差异。与单独 CRT 相比,I-CRT 并未显示出明显的生存获益。CRT-C 与 CRT 之间的比较也观察到了类似的结果。此外,I-CRT 与 CRT-C 相比,OS 和 PFS 方面的生存改善也没有差异。本荟萃分析表明,对于未选择的 LA-NSCLC,额外化疗加用 CRT 的效果有限。
