[Results of curative radiotherapy in non-small cell bronchial cancer].
172 patients with limited disease of non-small cell carcinoma of the lung were irradiated with curative intent. Complete remission and partial remission were achieved in 44%, and 39% respectively. The median survival time was 390 days in the whole group and 560 days in patients with stage T1,2N0M0. The 3-year survival rate was 14% in the whole group and 25% after complete remission. Comparisons with recent results of chemotherapy strongly indicate that alternative chemotherapy is not superior to irradiation in inoperable non-small cell lung cancer with limited disease.
