[Chemotherapy of bronchial carcinoma].
Prognosis of bronchial carcinoma remains poor despite improved early diagnosis and campaigns of informing the public about the risk factors. In the majority of histological entities chemotherapy cannot change this situation. However, in case of oat cell carcinoma a high rate of responders together with prolongation of survival rate can be achieved by chemotherapy. The best results are obtained with combined chemotherapy and early radiation therapy.
