Dr Robin Portner speaks to ecancer about the data collected from the CONVERT trial regarding the patterns of relapse following thoracic radiotherapy in patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer.

Initially, Dr Portner talks about the background and methodology of the study. He then discusses the key findings from the phase III CONVERT trial. He explains that 3 out of 4 patients who relapsed had thoracic progression.

The mapping analysis showed that the majority of thoracic relapses occurred within the high-dose radiotherapy region.This suggests that there is scope for further local treatment intensification.
