Abstract

Preliminary data on the use of a combined surgical-polychemical-immunoradiotherapy protocol in the treatment of 13 T2N2M0 lung cancer patients are reported. The results are compared with those obtained in a 13 patient control group, homogenous by histotype, stage and surgical treatment who were given no other therapy. At 24 months the average survival rate in the first group was 61.5% compared to 15.3% in the second. It was significant that survival at 24 months after pneumonectomy rose from 16.6% to 50% and even more significantly survival after lobectomy rose from 14.2% to 71.4%.
