When, if at all, would you consider sequential chemotherapy and radiation for locally advanced lung cancer instead of concurrent?
Has the use of immunotherapy replaced the use of sequential chemo?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
Surprisingly contentious. Concurrent provides slight advantage in those that can take it without interruptions. Sequential is better for marginal performance status, poor support systems, homeless. If locally symptomatic, XRT first, otherwise 2-3 cycles chemo.
