[Integrated chemotherapy and radiotherapy of inoperable bronchial carcinoma: preliminary results in 50 cases (author's transl)]. 1977

S Seeber, and C G Schmidt, and H Holfeld, and E Scherer

Fifty patients with inoperable bronchial carcinoma were treated with a combined schedule of adriamycin, cyclophosphamide and vincristine. In those cases with locally/regionally confined tumour spread this was followed - after three chemotherapy cycles - by radiotherapy to mediastinum, hilar region and tumour of 3000 rad focal dose. Remission was achieved in 25 of 27 patients with small-cell carcinoma: full clinical remission in 12, part remission in 13. Mean duration of the (in most instances still continuing) remission has so far been 4 + months. Mean survival time is, of course, not yet calculable. Only a few patients had to be admitted to hospital for short periods because of toxic reactions. Four full and 11 part remission (some still continuing) have so far been achieved in the group of larger-cell carcinoma (squamous cell, 4; large cells, 5; anaplastic, medium-large, undifferentiated or polymorph, 14).
