  • Title: Preoperative chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer.
    Author: Depierre A, Westeel V, Jacoulet P.
    Journal: Cancer Treat Rev; 2001 Apr; 27(2):119-27. PubMed ID: 11319850.
    Abstract:
    Surgery has been considered the standard of care in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as well as in some cases of stage III, for a long time. Poor survival after complete resection has led to the search for new therapeutic strategies such as combining anticancer treatments. However, at the present time, attempts to combine chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery have failed to show any significant impact on survival among patients with completely resected NSCLC.
