Abstract
Chemoradiation has been the standard treatment of stage Ⅲ unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for a long period of time. However, the clinical efficacy of chemoradiation has not been significantly improved in recent two decades. In the past 2-3 years, the role of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic NSCLC has been persistently strengthened. Moreover, the synergistic effect between radiotherapy and immune-checkpoint blockade has been conformed in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that the combination of radiotherapy and immune-checkpoint blockade has been proven to be more effective in the treatment of stage Ⅲ unresectable NSCLC. In this article, the latest clinical studies since 2017 regarding the application value of this combined treatment of stage Ⅲ unresectable NSCLC were summarized.
Key words:
Lung neoplasm/radiotherapy; Immune-checkpoint blockade; Research progress
期刊介绍：
The Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology is a national academic journal sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. It was founded in 1992 and the title was written by Chen Minzhang, the former Minister of Health. Its predecessor was the Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology, which was founded in 1987. The journal is an authoritative journal in the field of radiation oncology in my country. It focuses on clinical tumor radiotherapy, tumor radiation physics, tumor radiation biology, and thermal therapy. Its main readers are middle and senior clinical doctors and scientific researchers. It is now a monthly journal with a large 16-page format and 80 pages of text. For many years, it has adhered to the principle of combining theory with practice and combining improvement with popularization. It now has columns such as monographs, head and neck tumors (monographs), chest tumors (monographs), abdominal tumors (monographs), physics, technology, biology (monographs), reviews, and investigations and research.
