    Background:
    The optimal thoracic radiation dose/fraction for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is not yet established at present. This study mainly aims to retrospectively compare the impact on local/regional control of different thoracic radiation dose/fraction schedules from two prospective trials.
    
    Methods:
    Patients received thoracic radiotherapy consisted of 1.5 Gy twice a day in 30 fractions over a 19-day period to a total of 45 Gy (hyperfractionated arm, BED=53.3 Gy) or 2.5 Gy daily in 22 fractions over a 30-day period to a total of 55 Gy (hypofractionated arm, BED=62.6 Gy) combined with concurrent chemotherapy were included into this study. A statistical software package SPSS 13.0 was applied, and Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival data. Fisher’s exact test was used for comparisons of categorical data.
    
    Results:
    From 2005 to 2014, nighty-two patients were accrued into to the hyperfractionated arm. From 2005 to 2012, nighty-one patients were accrued into the hypofractionated arm. The 1-year, 2-year local/regional progression free survival rates of hyperfractionated arm and hypofractionated arm were 82.1%, 60.7% and 83.8%, 67.9%, respectively (P=0.33). The median survival time (months) of hyperfractionated arm and hypofractionated arm were 27.9 (95% CI: 15.7-40.1) and 22.0 (95% CI: 16.4-27.5) respectively, while 1-year, 3-year, 5-year overall survival rates of the two arms were 85.2%, 39.4%, 26% and 77.1%, 34.4%, 26.9% respectively (P=0.48). Grade 2 and 3 acute radiation esophagitis were observed in 28.3%, 8.7% and 15.5%, 2.1% of patients in hyperfractionated arm and hypofractionated arm (P=0.009).

    Conclusion:
    This study indicated that the use of hypofractionated radiotherapy failed to significantly improve the local regional control rate and overall survival time compared with hyperfractionated radiotherapy. However, the incidence of grade 2 and 3 acute radiation induced esophagitis was significantly more common in the hyperfractionated arm than in hypofractionated arm.
