Background
Small Cell Lung Cancer 15-20% of primary lung neoplasms
• Decreasing incidence
Classically large, central mass Rapid growth High metastatic potential (liver, adrenals, bone,
bone marrow, brain).
![Page 3: Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: Overview with Focus on Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814558550346895db228ee/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Classification
WHO (old classification) Oat cell Intermediate cell Combined oat cell (with SqCC or adenoCA)
WHO/IASLC (1999) Classical SCLC (most common) Large cell neuroendocrine Combined small-cell (predominant SCLC with
areas of NSCLC)

Histopathology
Diagnosis by light microscopy often sufficient: Small “blue” malignant cells Sparse cytoplasm Finely dispersed chromatin without nucleoli High mitotic rate, necrosis common

Histopathology
ImmunohistologyEpithelial
• keratin
• epithelial membrane Ag
Neuroendocrine* • NSE
• chromogranin A
*Pre-requisite for dx of large cell neuroendocrine but not small-cell.

Genetic Features
p53: mutated in 75-90% 9p LOH: 90% Rb: loss of transcripts (60%) or
abnormal gene product (40%) Telomerase: activated in 90% c-kit: up-regulated in 80-90% k-ras: mutation rare (unlike NSCLC)

Staging
VA Lung Study GroupLimited (60-70%): primary/nodal
disease confined to ipsilateral hemithorax, within a single radiotherapy port
Extensive (30-40%): metastatic disease outside the ipsilateral hemithorax
IASLC: Limited (M0) vs extensive (M1)

Work-Up
H&P Chest, liver, adrenal CT
Adrenal 17% FN rate by CT Head MRI (or CT)
CNS mets in 20-30% overall; 15% detection in asymptomatic pts
Bone Scan +/- Marrow Bx
Involved in 15-30% at presentation, but solitary metastatic focus in only 2-6%

Limited Stage SCLC: Early Role of Surgery
1960s: MRC (n=144, randomized)Limited-Stage: Resection vs RT
• Minimal active chemotherapy at the time
Similar poor outcomes (1-yr surv ~20%) Resection out of favor with improvements
in chemotherapy, advancements in radiotherapy
Lancet 1973;2:63
![Page 15: Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: Overview with Focus on Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814558550346895db228ee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Limited Stage SCLC:Chemotherapy Due to systemic nature of SCLC, chemotherapy
is considered an essential intervention SCLC is very chemo-responsive, with response
rates 80-90% for limited stage; however, very rarely sustained (median 6-8 months) Upon recurrence, median survival 4 months cCR ~50% in limited stg, ~15-25% extensive stg
cCR controversial prognostic indicator; pooled European trial data suggests cCR and KPS were independent predictive factors for survival >2yrs

ChemotherapyRegimens Cisplatin / Etoposide (EP)
Demonstrated equivalent survival to CAV (or CEV) chemo or EP/CAV alternation in extensive stage disease
• EP/RT superior survival to VEC/RT in limited-stage
Most clinicians favor EP in order to avoid adriamycin-associated toxicities concurrent with XRT

Limited-Stage SCLC:Radiotherapy
Why XRT? ~80-90% eventual local failure with chemo alone cCR may improve long-term survival… so add RT to boost
cCR rates CALGB (Perry; n=399)
ChemoRT (cyc 1) vs ChemoRT (cyc 4) vs Chemo Chemo = cyclophos/etoposide/vincristine q3wk x18mo
(adria replaced etoposide every other cycle after cycle 6) RT = 40 Gy to primary, mediast, bilat s-clavs + 10 Gy
boost (also PCI to all pts, concurrent w/chemo) Results: ChemoRT regimens improved cCR, FFF, OS

Limited-Stage SCLC:Radiotherapy
META Analysis (Pignon, 13 randomized trials): 2103 evaluable patients, mdn survivor f/u 43 months Improved survival of 5.4% at 3yrs for chemoRT over
chemo alone.• Benefit more apparent in younger patients (RR 0.72 for age
<55y vs 1.07 for >70y) Unable to discern benefit of “early” (w/in 60 days of
chemo start) vs “late” RT initiation, or sequential vs concurrent.

• Cis/Etopo q3-4wk x4cyc, 45 Gy @ 1.5 Gy/fx BID w/cyc 1 vs after cyc 4
Trend improved survival for concurrent chemoRT• Median Surv: 27.2 vs 19.7 months (p=0.097)• Increased leukopenia in concurrent, similar esophagitis

Limited-Stage SCLC:Radiotherapy
Timing of XRT: META Analysis (Huncharek): 1574 evaluable patients, 7 of 8 trials used platinum-based
chemo regimen (3 cisplatin-etoposide alone) Evaluation of 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survivals of patients
treated with early (cycle 1-2) vs late (>3 cycle, or sequential, or split) radiotherapy concurrent with chemotherapy.
Outcome: Early initiation results in 50-60% relative improvement in 3-year survival

Limited-Stage SCLC:Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy Dose / FractionationPresent Acceptable Regimens
• Daily: 50 – 70 Gy @ 2 Gy/fx once daily
• BID: 45 Gy @ 1.5 Gy/fx twice daily
• Concomitant Boost: 61 Gy @ 1.8 Gy/fx, BID over final 9 days
![Page 22: Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: Overview with Focus on Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56814558550346895db228ee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Limited-Stage SCLC:Radiotherapy
Rationale:Linear cell kill even at low doses
• No shoulder = minimal DNA repair capability
Pilot studies demonstrate efficacy & tolerability of BID chemoRT
• 2y OS - 40%
• Gr 3 esophagitis: ~35-40%
Smaller fraction size should spare late toxicity

Limited Stage SCLC: BID vs Daily RT Issues:
Increased toxicity• Requirement of elective mediastinal nodal radiotherapy?• Identifiable factors associated with severe esophagitis?
Suboptimal local control • Was 45 Gy in daily fractionation a sufficient comparative
arm?• Increased thoracic failures in QD arm
• Reduction of thoracic failure is primary benefit of XRT; with chemo alone, ~90% local failure!!
• Benefit of higher dose?• Benefit of increased dose intensification?
• Other treatment-related factors impacting loco-regional control in BID group?
