title: [Possibilities of chemotherapy in patients with bronchial cancer].
abstract: The introduction of chemotherapy in the treatment of small cell lung cancer made this a potentially curable disease. Despite intensive efforts, non-small cell lung cancer, however, remains refractory to chemotherapy. In patients with small cell lung cancer efforts are concentrating on increasing the cure rates. In patients with non-small lung cancer efforts are directed at achieving an optimal combination of palliative action and quality of life.
