WCLC 2023 | Optimising radiotherapy for limited-stage SCLC

Bjørn Henning Grønberg, MD PhD, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway, discusses recent developments in radiotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). Combination therapies comprising of radio- and chemotherapy have not been widely implemented for LS-SCLC due to logistical challenges, toxicity concerns, and the intensity of the recommended twice-daily regimen. Nevertheless, recent data generated from once- and twice-daily regimens of different strengths demonstrated a large improvement in median overall survival and an increase in 5-year survival rates. Dr Grønberg emphasises the need for new strategies to implement radiotherapy for LS-SCLC, such as acceleration of the treatment. This interview took place at the 2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) in Singapore, Singapore.
