title: [Chemotherapy of the non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma].
abstract: From 1976 to 1981 61 patients (50 men and 11 women) with non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma (i.e. squamous cell or adeno-carcinoma) received a chemotherapy treatment based on two cytostatic drug combinations for each histological group. The drugs which were used were cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, methotrexate, bleomycin, 5-fluorouracil and procarbazine. All patients had advanced disease and 6 of them had had previous surgical excision of the primary tumor. A large proportion of the patients had received irradiation to the primary site prior to chemotherapy. 1 patient developed a complete remission, 5 developed a partial remission and 34 showed stabilization of their disease. In 21 patients the disease progressed in spite of the treatment. Responders had a significantly longer survival than non-responding patients.
