title: Report of clinical studies on chronochemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer in China.
abstract: Chronochemotherapy has been proposed as a promising modality to provide timely optimized medication to achieve maximum efficacy with minimum side effect for patients with non-small cell lung cancer for years. We collected the data of 11 clinical studies performed in China with the purpose to compare the difference between chronochemotherapy and traditional chemotherapy. Results showed that chronochemotherapy has a more favorable efficacy and safety than traditional chemotherapy.
