Twenty-one patients with bulky mediastinal disease responding to chemotherapy received consolidation with low-dose mediastinal radiation (19.8-25.2 Gy). Their 5-year mediastinal failure rate (10%) was equivalent to that of 10 similar patients who received higher doses of 30-44 Gy (20%). Low-dose radiation may be appropriate for these patients. Prospective studies are required to verify these findings.
21例对化疗有反应的纵隔肿物患者接受了低剂量纵隔放疗(19.8 - 25.2 Gy)巩固治疗。他们的5年纵隔失败率(10%)与10例接受30 - 44 Gy更高剂量放疗的类似患者(20%)相当。低剂量放疗可能适用于这些患者。需要进行前瞻性研究来验证这些发现。
