Cyclophosphamide, vincristine and sequential split-course radiotherapy in the treatment of small cell lung cancer.
Thirty-nine patients with small cell lung cancer were treated with large dose intravenous cyclophosphamide combined with vincristine. Sequential split-course radiotherapy was added when the gross disease was limited to one hemithorax and draining scalene nodes. Fifteen of 16 patients in the limited disease category showed objective response, eight of which were complete. Fourteen of 23 patients...
متن کاملThe cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of high-dose palliative radiotherapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE To compute cost-effectiveness/cost-utility (CE/CU) ratios, from the treatment clinic and societal perspectives, for high-dose palliative radiotherapy treatment (RT) for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) against best supportive care (BSC) as comparator, and thereby demonstrate a method for computing CE/CU ratios when randomized clinical trial (RCT) data cannot be generated. M...
متن کاملEffectiveness of palliative care for non-small cell lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Despite increases in the survival rate for various types of cancer over the past several decades, lung cancer remains an overwhelmingly lethal disease and the majority of patients succumb to the disease in a short period of time. A number of treatment options are available depending on the stage of lung cancer. The present review f...
متن کاملCost-utility analysis of short- versus long-course palliative radiotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy can effectively palliate the symptoms of poor-prognosis patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. However, controversy remains about whether short-course or more protracted radiotherapy schedules provide better value for the money. We conducted a societal cost-utility analysis of a Dutch multicenter randomized trial with 1-year follow-up that compared the efficacy of rad...
متن کاملComparison of curative and palliative radiotherapy efficacy in unresectable advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with or without metastasis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of curative and palliative radiotherapy in inoperable advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with a performance status (PS) equal or greater than 2, and to compare the therapy effect on survival with or without metastatic disease. METHODS From January 1998 through December 2004, 797 patients with inoperable stage III and IV NSCLC were treated w...
