Radiation Therapy for Small-Cell Lung Cancer: ASCO Guideline Endorsement of an ASTRO Guideline.
Abstrak
PURPOSE The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) produced an evidence-based guideline on radiation therapy (RT) for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Because of the relevance of this topic to ASCO membership, ASCO reviewed the guideline, applying a set of procedures and policies used to critically examine guidelines developed by other organizations. METHODS The ASTRO guideline on RT for SCLC was reviewed for developmental rigor by methodologists. Then, an ASCO Expert Panel reviewed the content and the recommendations. RESULTS The ASCO Expert Panel determined that the recommendations from ASTRO guideline on RT for SCLC, published in June 2020, are clear, thorough, and based upon the most relevant scientific evidence. ASCO endorsed ASTRO guideline on RT for SCLC with a few discussion points. RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations addressed thoracic radiotherapy for limited-stage SCLC, role of stereotactic body radiotherapy in stage I or II node-negative SCLC, prophylactic cranial radiotherapy, and thoracic consolidation for extensive-stage SCLC.Additional information is available at www.asco.org/thoracic-cancer-guidelines.
