Abstract

The role of remission status in limited disease (LD) small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remains to be finally clarified. Individual data from 184 patients treated with definitive CRT concurrently or sequentially were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan-Meier analysis as well as univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to describe survival within patient subgroups defined by remission status. 71 (39 %) patients were treated in the concurrent, 113 (61 %) in the sequential CRT mode. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) was applied in 71 (39 %) patients. 37 (20 %) patients developed local, while 89 (48 %) distant recurrence. 58 (32 %) patients developed metachronous brain metastases. Complete, partial remission and non-response (defined as stable and progressive disease) were documented in 65 (35 %), 77 (42 %), and 37 (20 %) patients, respectively. In complete responders median overall survival was 21.8 months (95CI: 18.6 - 25) versus 14.9 (95 % CI: 11.7 - 18.2) (p = 0.041, log-rank test) and 11.5 months (95 % CI: 8.9 - 15.0) (p < 0.001, log-rank test) in partial and non-responders, respectively. The same effect was documented for the time to progression and distant metastasis-free survival. In the multivariate analysis achievement of complete remission as a variable shows a trend for the prolonged time to progression (p = 0.1, HR 1.48) and distant metastasis-free survival (p = 0.06, HR 1.63) compared to partial responders and was highly significant compared to non-responders. In this treated heterogeneous LD SCLC patient cohort complete remission was associated with longer time to progression, distant metastasis-free and overall survival compared to the non- and especially partial responders.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 March 2017.
All research outputs
#2,952,742
of 23,613,071 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#628
of 8,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#47,542
of 300,959 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#19
of 176 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,613,071 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,487 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,959 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 176 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
