    • Abstract

    Background:
    Although small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is generally considered a systemic disease even in patients with limited stage (LS). Selected recurrent LS-SCLC patients after chemoradiation treatment have been reported long survival with receiving salvage surgery. Purpose of this study was to find candidates for salvage surgery.
    
    Methods:
    We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 43 consecutive patients who were treated with chemoradiotherapy for LS-SCLC at our hospital from January 2011 to December 2015 to search for the patients with locoregional progression without mediastinal lymph node involvement.
    
    Results:
    Of the 43 patients, the median age was 69 (38-83), 91% were male and all of them had ECOG PS 0 or 1. Clinical stage: IIA (12%), IIIA (53%), IIIB (35%). 35 (81%) received hyperfractionated RT (45Gy/30fr/3w). Objective response rate was 95%. One patient died of pneumonia. The median survival time was 1584 days and the median progression free survival was 280 days. 33 (77%) demonstrated disease progression. The first progression site was distant (include pulmonary metastasis and malignant pleural effusion) in 17, locoregional in 11, lymph node metastasis out of the radiation field in 2 and both distant and locoregional in 3. In the locoregional progression patients, 6 developed mediastinal lymph node progression in their clinical courses. Finally, 5 in 33 progressive patients had locoregional progression without mediastinal lymph node progression, and were thought possible candidates for salvage surgery.
    
    Conclusion:
    Most of the patients experienced distant metastasis and/or mediastinal lymph node progression. About 15% of patients who presented with apparently localized disease at the primary pulmonary site after chemoradiation might become possible candidates for salvage surgery.
