title: [The results of hypofractionated irradiation in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma].
abstract: Resulting from the declared palliative aim and from time economic and tumor affecting high dosed single fraction meanwhile a hypofractionated irradiation rhythm was applied to more than 500 patients with lung carcinoma and 5 x 5 Gy were given in daily succession if possible. A hospitalization was necessary in a third of the patients. In spite of histology (NSCLC: 46%, SCLC: 35%) a mean survival of 12 months was attained, in which the fate is determined for 75% of the patients within the first year after therapy. Detrimental effects were not provoked by the applied irradiation mode.
