Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (Three Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy, 3DCRT) in recent years developed a new radiation therapy technology, is a gain ratio can improve the treatment of an effective means to maximize local tumor radiation dose and reduce the radiation dose of the surrounding normal tissue. December 1998 ~ July 2003 using high-dose hypofractionated 3DCRT treatment NSCLC44 cases, the effect is satisfactory. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 Case Material December 1998 ~ July 2003 in the 44 cases treated NSCLC with hypofractionated three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. 35 males, 9 females, median age 68 years; 23 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma 15 cases, adenosquamous carcinoma in 1 case, large cell carcinoma, 5 cases; TNM stage 6 cases of stage Ⅰ (Ⅰ A Phase 1 cases , Ⅰ B 5 cases), Ⅱ B 6 cases, Ⅲ period of 17 cases (Ⅲ A period of 10 cases, Ⅲ B period of 7 cases), Ⅳ period of 15 cases; of these four cases of postoperative recurrence (Ⅲ A period of 2 cases, Ⅳ 1 case, Ⅰ A 1 case), and postoperative residual 1 case (Ⅲ A period), conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy after the recurrence of four cases (Ⅰ B Phase 2 cases, Ⅲ B Phase 2 cases), 35 cases were newly diagnosed cases. Pre-treatment inspection chest CT (enhanced or unenhanced), head CT or MRI, bone scan, abdominal B-ultrasonography or CT, combined physical examination of the phased (WHO 1997). The whole group of cases is defined as the recurrence o
