[Quantitative bibliographic analysis of French clinical research in the treatment of bronchopulmonary cancer].
A retrospective analysis by searching Medline to assess various criteria regarding the quality of publications in recent years in the treatment of bronchial cancer in France. Following some pre-defined principles for inclusion, 103 references corresponding to 90 papers were retained for this study. The data analysed had been the method of publication (45 abstracts and 58 articles), the origin of the study based on the place and the specialty of the first signatory to publication, the subject of the study (42 out of the 90 studies were on chemotherapy), the population of the patient studies (56 concerned non small cell cancer), the methodology of the study which most often used the rules for open phase II trials and only 13 times was it a phase III study, also the number of patients included was recorded. A tentative interpretation of the weak and strong points of French lung cancer research was carried out based on this analysis and has led to the proposition for the creation of a confederation of clinical research in this area.
