Summary

In patients with locally advanced stage III non-small cell lung cancer, the probability of local control remains low (about 17% at 1 year). Concomitant radio-chemotherapy is the standard treatment. An increase in total radiotherapy dose (from 66 to 74 Gray) has been proposed to improve local control, with contradictory results.

Relevant FDG-PET scan images can be acquired during radio-chemotherapy, with a demonstrated prognostic impact and recently in a multicentre prospective study. A significant reduction in FDG uptake / volume (metabolic response) suggests that the radiotherapy target volume could be reduced during radiotherapy possibly improving organs at risk tolerance. Conversely, a lack of metabolic response may justify treatment intensification before the end of radiotherapy. The investigators hypothesis is to investigate the individual tumour heterogeneity on FDG-PET during radio-chemotherapy to reduce the volume to a biological target that could receive a higher total dose (personalized dose redistribution).

Conditions

Interventions

RADIATION

Personalized dose redistribution

Patients will receive an individualized radiotherapy prescription up to a total dose of 74 Gy given in 6.6 weeks if they have a positive FDG-PET at 42Gy. An initial dose of 50 Gy will be delivered in 5 weeks (single daily fractions of 2 Gy), then an additional dose up to 24 Gy will be delivered over 1.6 week.

RADIATION

No personalized dose redistribution

Patients will receive a single prescription of 66 Gy in 33 fractions in 6.6 weeks, with 2 Gy fractions given once daily, 5 days a week, without target volume reduction or adaptation (whatever the FDG-PET2 result).
