title: Prospective multimodality treatment of SCLC--experience during the past 18 years.
abstract: Lung cancer has been one of the leading malignancies in China. Since 1989 it has ranked first among common malignancies in the male population, and second in females. In 1975, a multimodality treatment study group for lung cancer was organized in our institute. The group has since expanded to 15 institutions in the Beijing and Tianjin area during the past four years. The present communication is based on our experiences and data, and tries to explain the treatment strategy of our study group.
