متن کاملGemcitabine for the treatment of advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer
Gemcitabine is a pyrimidine nucleoside antimetabolite agent which is active in several human malignancies, including nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Because of its acceptable toxicity profile, with myelosuppression being the most common adverse event, gemcitabine can be safely combined with a number of cytotoxic agents, including platinum derivatives and new-generation anticancer compounds. ...
متن کاملSurgery for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Surgery remains the best curative option in patients with early stage lung cancer (stage I and II).
