Brief Title: Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Lung Cancer in Elderly Patients
Official Title: A Prospective Phase II Clinical Study of Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in the Older Adult
Study ID: NCT06311981
Brief Summary: To observe the effect and toxicity of carbon ion radiotherapy on local advanced non-small cell lung cancer over 75 years old patients. Systemic therapy could be targeted therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Detailed Description: The patient will receive carbon ion radiotherapy with 70Gy per 20 fractions. Patients with genetic mutations (including but not limited to EGFR, ALK, etc.) should receive targeted therapy as their systemic therapy. For patients who are not suitable for targeted therapy, we recommend single regimen chemotherapy in sequence with radiotherapy. The drugs include etoposide, platinum (carboplatin, cisplatin, nedaplatin or loplatin), vinorelbine, paclitaxel (including liposome paclitaxel and albumin paclitaxel), docetaxel, pemetrexel, gemcitabine, etc. If there is no contraindication to PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, it can be combined with immunotherapy, such as Pembrolizumab. For patients who cannot tolerate chemotherapy, PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy is recommended. The progression-free survival rate, toxicity, local control rate, cause-specific survival rate and overall survival rate were observed with regular follow-up after treatment.
