Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an intensive multimodality approach with combination chemotherapy, hyperfractionated accelerated chemoradiotherapy, and definitive surgery in prognostically unfavorable subgroups of locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer stages IIIA and IIIB (LAD-NSCLC).Patients and Methods: Following staging, including mediastinoscopy, 94 patients with inoperable LAD-NSCLC were treated preoperatively with chemotherapy (three courses of split-dose cisplatin and etoposide [PE]) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (one course of PE combined with 45 Gy hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy). After repeat mediastinoscopy, patients underwent surgery 4 weeks postradiation.Results: Of 94 consecutive patients (52 stage IIIA [greater than or equal to two lymph node levels involved] and 42 stage IIIB [no pleural effusion, no supraclavicular nodes]), 62 (66%) completed induction and underwent surgery Complete resection (RO) was achieved in 50 (53% of all patients) and pathologic complete response (PCR) in 24 (26%). After a median follow-up of 43 months, the median survival time was 20 months for IIIA, 18 months for IIIB, and 42 months for RO patients. Calculated survival rates at 4 years were 31%, 26%, and 46%. Two patients died of sepsis preoperatively and four died postoperatively of pleural empyema (n = 1), stump insufficiency (n = 2), and cardiac failure (n = 1). Other toxicities were accept able-mainly hematologic during chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy and esophagitis during chemoradiotherapy.Conclusion: This intensive multimodality treatment is feasible and demonstrates high efficacy in prognostically unfavorable LAD-NSCLC subgroups with high RO rates and improved long-term survival compared with historical controls.
