Sequential Administration

Clinicians are faced with the challenge of treating increasing numbers of elderly patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) and co-morbid conditions. The benefit of combined chemoradiation in the younger patient using the concurrent modality compared with the sequential administration of both modalities has been established in several randomised trials and recent meta-analyses. Because of the underrepresentation of elderly patients in clinical trials on concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) in LA-NSCLC, treatment guidelines for this age group are not well established. The objective of this report is to summarise the data on efficacy and toxicity of CCRT in the elderly.
