Efficacy and safety of hyperfractionated versus conventionally fractionated chemoradiotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer:a meta-analysis / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

treatment of LS-SCLC, two fractionation modes show similar short-term efficacy and survival benefits. However, hyperfractionated radiotherapy causes a higher incidence of radiation esophagitis than conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. Given that hyperfractionated radiotherapy is not superior to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy,conventionally fractionated radiotherapy is recommended for treating LS-SCLC.
