title: [Polychemotherapy of undifferentiated small cell bronchial cancer. Long-term results].
abstract: Long-term results of 2 studies combining etoposide and adriamycin with cisplatin (CAV) or cyclophosphamide (AVE) in small cell lung cancer indicate a 2-year survival rate of 22% and 18% respectively. The complete response rate 2 years after the onset of chemotherapy was 8% (8/98) : 11% (4/36) with CAV and 5% (4/62) with AVE. Among these 8 patients, 2 had a late relapse and one died of an unrelated cause. The actual long-term survival rate was 6% with CAV and 5% with AVE.
