Predictors of Recurrence after Curative Resection in Patients with Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
BACKGROUND There have been various results from studies concerning the predictors of recurrence in early-stage nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, an accurate assessment is needed to guide effective adjuvant therapy. We investigated the predictors of a recurrence in patients with resected, early-stage NSCLC and the risk factors associated with locoregional or distant recurrence. MET...
متن کاملCelecoxib and radiation therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is frequently present in lung cancer and may play a significant role in carcinogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. It has been associated with shortened survival in patients with resected early-stage adenocarcinoma of the lung. COX-2 inhibition decreases tumor cell proliferation in vivo and has been shown to enhance tumor radiosensitivity. Additionally,...
متن کاملPost-recurrence survival of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer after curative resection with or without induction/adjuvant chemotherapy.
OBJECTIVES Recently, the prognosis of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has improved, thanks to the standardization of adjuvant chemotherapy and the introduction of molecular-targeted drugs, notably epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other new anti-cancer agents. However, the survival characteristics and prognosis of patients with recurrent NSC...
متن کاملRadiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
We reviewed patients with intrathoracic recurrence of non-small cell lung cancer after surgery, with reference to the feasibility of radiotherapy. The series consisted of 46 patients (39 males and 7 females) treated by radiotherapy from 1982 to 1995. Histology included squamous cell carcinoma (28 patients), adenocarcinoma (17), and large cell carcinoma (1). Clinical stage by UICC classification...
متن کاملResults of curative radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy for stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE We retrospectively analyzed the patients who received curative radiotherapy for unresectable stage III NSCLC to investigate the impact of chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 1998 to 2001, the records of 224 patients who completed curative radiotherapy for NSCLC were reviewed. There were 210 males and 14 females, and their median age was 64 years (range 38 approximately 83). 54 pa...
