[Combined-modality therapy for lung cancer].
Lung cancer is treated with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy according to histology and clinical stage. Advanced stage lung cancer patients cannot be cured, but early and locally-advanced stage patients can be cured by intensive combined-modality therapy. Combined-modality therapy with surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy is standard for resectable IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)...
متن کاملCombined Modality Therapy of Lung Cancer’
Combined modality therapy for lung cancer was first demonstrated to be successful in limited-stage small cell lung cancer. Concurrent administration of chemotherapy with chest and elective brain irradiation appears to produce the best results, with cisplatin/etoposide as the core chemotherapy. Using such programs, 2-year survival in the 40% range and 5-year survivals in excess of 20% may be exp...
متن کاملCombined modality therapy of non-small cell lung cancer.
Combined modality therapy of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer has become a widely used means of treatment with several reports of benefit found in randomized phase III trials. Progress in this area may, however, be less substantive than it appears. Phase III trials routinely take the better part of a decade to initiate, complete, and analyze, and the flood of phase II trials are larg...
متن کاملInnovations in multimodality therapy for lung cancer. Combined modality management of limited small-cell lung cancer.
Recent approaches to the treatment of limited small-cell lung cancer have combined local radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy in an attempt to improve local control and inhibit distant metastases. Local control is a key indicator of the efficacy of radiotherapy administration in combined-modality regimens. However, even in combined-modality trials using high total radiotherapy doses, local fa...
متن کاملPrimary combined-modality therapy for esophageal cancer.
Based on positive results from the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 85-01 trial, the conventional nonsurgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma is combined-modality therapy. Dose intensification of the RTOG 85-01 regimen, examined in the Intergroup (INT)-0123/RTOG 94-05 trial, did not improve local control or survival. Areas of clinical investigation include the development of combined-m...
