    Author: Monakhov BV, Borisevich NV, Akyshbaev AA.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1988; 34(6):718-21. PubMed ID: 2839938.
    Abstract:
    The report deals with an analysis of the results of treatment of 84 patients suffering small cell lung cancer. Four regimens of combination chemotherapy as well as radiation were used. Complete plus partial regression rates ranged 18-81% (mean-42%) following chemotherapy and 73-87% after radiation treatment. Platidiam-containing schemes proved most effective. Prophylactic cranial irradiation was followed by increased survival. A correlation between extent of tumor and effectiveness of treatment was established.
