  • Title: [A case of small cell lung carcinoma associated with pneumoconiosis who responded well to the over twenty chemotherapy treatments, resulting in prolonged survival].

    Abstract:
    In a 62-year-old man with pneumoconiosis (management 4), small cell lung carcinoma (intermediate cell type) was detected at the routine health examination for pneumoconiosis. The stage of the disease was III B (T2N3M0). Chemotherapy was undertaken over twenty times, resulting in a prolonged survival time (42.5 months). A case of this kind with small cell lung cancer responding well to repeated chemotherapy (decreased tumor size and tumor marker) until the terminal stage seems relatively rare and valuable.
