  • Thoracic disease is contiguous to extra-thoracic sites, beyond ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph nodes
  • Mixed histology disease
  • Active serious infection requiring therapy
  • Brain metastasis that has not been symptomatically stable on dexamethasone
  • 4 or more sites of extrathoracic disease, even if 2 or more of these are present in the same organ system
  • Previous CNS or thoracic radiotherapy
  • Previous chemotherapy
  • Ineligibility for platinum doublet chemotherapy
  • Life expectancy of less than 3 months
  • Prior thoracic surgery
  • History of another primary malignancy other than cutaneous basal cell carcinoma unless disease-free for at least 5 years
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding
  • In LS-SCLC, patients that are not eligible for concurrent chemoradiotherapy
  • In ES-SCLC, patients that are not eligible for concurrent chemoradiotherapy under the experimental arm
  • CT contrast allergy or kidney disease with irreversibly low creatinine clearance inadequate for IV contrast administration (for the purposes of high quality contrast enhanced CT chest and abdomen for follow-up imaging)
  • Lack of intrathoracic disease or intrathoracic disease spread not feasible to treat with adaptive radiotherapy
