[Hyperfractionated irradiation of bronchial cancer. Results of a pilot study].
The results achieved during recent years in experimental radiotherapy of malignant tumors show more and more the benefit provided by the small individual doses applied in fractionated irradiation. The effects and side effects of a hyperfractionated therapy of the bronchial carcinoma were investigated in a not randomized comparative study. The data of 100 patients were available for evaluation; they showed a tendency to local superiority of hyperfractionated irradiation. The value of hyperfractionation shall be examined in detail in a randomized prospective study.
