The primary lesions and involved lymph nodes were irradiated using 2–4 portals. Proton and sequential carbon-ion beams were delivered with a median dose of 67.1 (range, 63–74.8) GyE as fraction doses of 2.0–2.2 GyE with proton beams in 20–23 fractions and 3.0–3.8 GyE with carbon ions in 5–8 fractions. Chemotherapy was delivered concurrently with radiotherapy in all patients.ResultsAt the last follow-up, the 2-year overall and locoregional progression-free survival rates were 81.7% and 66.7%, respectively. Radiochemotherapy was well tolerated, with grade 1, 2, and 3 acute toxicities occurring in 12.0%, 68.0%, and 20.0% of patients, respectively. All grade 3 acute toxicities were hematologically related changes. One patient experienced grade 3 acute non-hematological toxicity in the esophagus, and one other patient had grade 3 bronchial obstruction accompanied by obstructive atelectasis as a late side effect.ConclusionProton plus carbon-ion radiotherapy using pencil beam scanning yielded promising survival rates and tolerability in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. A prospective clinical study is warranted to validate the therapeutic efficacy of particle radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy in limited-stage small cell lung cancer.Ning-Yi MaNing-Yi MaNing-Yi MaJian ChenJian ChenJian ChenXue MingXue MingXue MingGuo-Liang JiangGuo-Liang JiangGuo-Liang JiangJiade J.
