Data show that twice-daily radiotherapy may confer improved survival vs once-daily radiation in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer.

The addition of atezolizumab (Tecentriq) to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) did not improve survival outcomes among patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC), according to findings from the phase 3 NRG-LU005 trial (NCT03811002) presented at the 2024 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting.
