SBRT Compared With IMRT Concurrently With Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With LS-SCLC

Summary

As stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) has been widely used in clinical practice at present, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy compared with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) concurrently with EP regimen(cisplatin plus etoposide) in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer
