title: [Disease-free survival in a patient with squamous cell lung carcinoma following complete response with the combination chemotherapy of cisplatin and etoposide].
abstract: Disease-free survival is reported in a patient with non-small cell lung carcinoma successfully treated with the combination chemotherapy of cisplatin and etoposide (CDDP-ETOP). An 80-year-old woman was diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with bone metastasis. Chest X-ray showed a tumor (64 x 68 mm in size) in the S1/4 segment of the right lobe, and CT scan revealed no apparent metastasis of hilar lymphnode. In March 1989, the patient achieved a complete response (CR) after two courses of CDDP-ETOP therapy, followed by ETOP(100mg) every two weeks and daily UFT (400 mg) for 10 months. Subsequently, a single course of CDDP-ETOP was administered as a consolidation therapy. The patient is alive with no evidence of recurrent disease for 3 years and half after achieving CR.
