Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the developed world. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents 85% of cases of lung cancer, and patients have a poor 5-year survival rate. Approximately one third of NSCLC patients present with early-stage disease that is amenable to potentially curative resection and multimodality therapy. Several randomized trials now have co...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant chemotherapy in stage IIIa non-small cell lung cancer.
Background. The efficacy of surgery for patients with non-small cell lung cancer is limited, although recent studies suggest that preoperative chemotherapy may improve survival. We conducted a randomized trial to examine the possible benefit of preoperative chemotherapy and surgery for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Methods. We studied 60 patients (59 men and 1 woman...
متن کاملSurvival in untreated early stage non-small cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the survival of untreated stage I and II in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of medical charts of all patients diagnosed with early stage NSCLC, between January 1990 and December 2001, was conducted and patients who were not treated were identified. Data on patient's age, gender, stage ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of FDG uptake in early stage non-small cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis even for early stages of the disease (stage I and II). We studied the prognostic value of PET FDG in patients with completely resected stage I and II NSCLC. METHODS Retrospective study of 96 patients with NSCLC whose staging included 18F-FDG PET (fluoro deoxy glucose positron emission tomography). Histopathological stage was e...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy without radiotherapy in early stage non-small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND Many clinical trials have confirmed that postoperative adjuvant therapy can prolong survival of non-small cell lung cancer. However, the efficiency of postoperative chemotherapy without radiotherapy is unclear, especially in early stage (stages I and II). We aimed to assess the effect of postoperative chemotherapy without radiotherapy in early stage patients. METHODS Databases and ...
