[Results of curative radiotherapy in non-small cell bronchial cancer]. 1984

H Bünemann, and F Langheim

172 patients with limited disease of non-small cell carcinoma of the lung were irradiated with curative intent. Complete remission and partial remission were achieved in 44%, and 39% respectively. The median survival time was 390 days in the whole group and 560 days in patients with stage T1,2N0M0. The 3-year survival rate was 14% in the whole group and 25% after complete remission. Comparisons with recent results of chemotherapy strongly indicate that alternative chemotherapy is not superior to irradiation in inoperable non-small cell lung cancer with limited disease.

D011882	Radiotherapy, High-Energy	Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; x-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.
