Multimodality treatment of stage III NSCLC
Jan P van Meerbeeck
EIS-Geneva
Are you « out » when not offering your patient
concurrent chemoradiotherapy?
EIS-Geneva 3
Evidence-based medicine
• In a disease with a high prevalence, treatment guidelines are based on:– very good evidence: meta-analysis and/or
several prospective randomised studies, adequately powered, comparable outcome, and published as full papers
– a large or moderate benefit: advantage of intervention >>/> its potential harm
ACCP guidelines
EIS-Geneva 4
Why multimodality?
• Stage III NSCLC is – A heterogenous disease– A systemic disease
• After local treatment only, relapses occur– In >80%– Locally in ~one third– Distantly in ~one third– Combined in ~one third
EIS-Geneva 5
Chemotherapy in MMT• Sterilise
– Micrometastatic disease– Mediastinal lymph nodes
• Reduce primary tumour volume– Lesser resection– Smaller RT field– Higher RT dose (?)
• Outcome benefit: – Cisplatin based – + 4% at 2 y– + 2% at 5 y
BMJ 1995
EIS-Geneva 6Jassem, 2001
Chemotherapy strategies
• Platinum-based• Induction: 10/22 trials
in 1995 MA:• Consolidation• Simultaneous
– Single agent– Combination– Systemic or sensitizing
dose
• Combinations
EIS-Geneva 7
Questions regarding chemotherapy
• Is there an optimal induction regimen?– Number and kind of drugs– Number of cycles
• Which is the better sequence with RT?– Sequential (~induction)– Concurrent at systemic dose– [Concurrent at sensitizing dose]– Combinations

Conclusions (1)
• Is there an optimal induction regimen? – 2-3 cycles– Platinum + one 3rd generation drug– Activity in IIIA (~50%) > IIIB (~40%)– “standard” hematological toxicity– All non-progressing patients proceed to RT

Induction vs. systemic dose chemoradiotherapy
• Cochrane meta-analysis: 3 studies, 711 pts, – 1 cCR only but not yet published (RTOG 9410)– 1 with consolidation chemo (GFPC)– 1 with induction and consolidation chemo (Zatloukal)
• Short follow-up and incomplete late toxicity data• cCR
– HR: 0.86 (0.78-0.95) – ARR of death at 2 years: 14%– NNT: 8– Increase in acute severe esophagitis (17-26%)– More toxic deaths, but NS (3% overall)
Rowell, 2006
EIS-Geneva 16
Conclusions (2)• Caution is advised in adopting concurrent
chemoradiotherapy as the standard of care because of uncertainties about the true magnitude of late benefit and late toxicity
• With short follow up and uncertainties about possible increased toxicity, the optimal chemotherapy regimen remains uncertain
Rowell, 2006
EIS-Geneva 17
Induction chemotherapy
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy
• At least 5 RCT comparing with C→R or cCR• All with taxanes and/or platinum during RT• None show significant improvement in OS or PFS• Higher toxicity and mortality in some

• Criteria of « very good evidence » and of « large or moderate benefit » do not yet apply for combining sequential and concurrent strategies
• These combinations cannot yet be recommended

Patient selection
• Little evidence for differential benefit in patient subgroups– Be cautious in the elderly (75+)– Avoid PS 2 or more and major comorbidity
• GTV constraints and PFT criteria– DLCO and FEV1 > 40% predicted
• Adequately staged– Contrast enhanced chest CT– PET/(CT) with at least 1 confirmatory exam of any FDG-avid
extrathoracic lesion – Proof of mediastinal involvement (EUS, EBUS, mediastinoscopy)– Compulsory contrast enhanced brain imaging

• <5% if C->R• >20% if cCR
– Late esophageal: <5%
• Treatment related mortality: 3%
EIS-Geneva 33
Conclusions (4)
• We have improved in the last decade– + 5m in median – + 10% in 1 and 2 y survival– Stage migration?
• We still need– Better systemic treatment– Improved local control
EIS-Geneva 34
Take home messages
• Induction chemoradiotherapy is still a good standard of care in good PS patients with stage III NSCLC– Platinum with 3rd generation drug– At least 2 cycles– All non-progressing pts proceed to RT
• Particular attention should be paid to avoidance of delays in commencing radiotherapy
• Only selected patients should be offered concurrent chemoradiotherapy or combinations, preferably as part of a clinical trial
