Abstract

Current evidence suggests that concurrent RT/CHT is the standard of treatment in patients with locally advanced, inoperable NSCLC. This treatment approach, however, bears risk of increased toxicity and, therefore, must be carefully balanced regarding the choice of patients suitable for such an intervention. Newer RT technologies, third-generation CHT drugs, and widely used radioprotectors represent the current framework for numerous clinical studies that ultimately will help optimize the treatment of this disease.
