Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect and toxicity of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT)on non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)in elderly.Methods 58 patients with non-small cell lung cancer were radiated by 3DCRT, DT 2.0Gy/T, 5T/W, the overall DT64-70Gy;CT examination was performed in the 1 to 3 months followed-up period to verify the therapeutic effects.Results Among 58 patients, 17 patients were CR, 33 patients PR, 6 patients SD, 2 patients PD.Total effective rate(CR+PR)was 86.2%, serious toxicity was found to be the radiation esophagitis and radiation pulmonitis, but tolerable.Conclusions 3DCRT was an effective and tolerable regimen for treatment of elderly non-small cell lung cancer.
