[Current indications for exclusive radiotherapy].
The indications and limits of radiotherapy in the treatment of lung cancer are reviewed underlining the importance of different factors: the size of the tumours, the extension but also the treatment parameters (dose conformal, volume and technique). New perspectives are also seen: conformation radiotherapy and studies of changes in fractionation.
