Abstract

BACKGROUND: To study the curative effects by concomitant chemotherapy plus radiotherapy for advanced lung cancer. METHODS: FromJanuary 1992 to December 1994 , radiotherapy was given in 52 patients with advanced lung cancer after 2-4 cycles of chemotherapy. The radiation does ranged from 55-70 Gy/ 5. 5-7 weeks. RESULTS: The complete response (CR) rate was 13. 5 % , and partial response (PR) rate was 51. 9 %. The overall effective (CR + PR) rate was 65. 4 %. The median survival period was 15. 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: Combination of chemotherapy plus radiotherapy is preferable in treating advanced lung cancer.
