  • Title: [Results of combined drug and radiotherapy in bronchial carcinoma].
    Author: Hering K, Seegelken K.
    Journal: Strahlentherapie; 1976 Jul; 152(1):5-8. PubMed ID: 951718.
    Abstract:
    90 out of 191 patients with bronchial carcinomas were treated exclusively with telecobalt (focal dose ofer 4,500 rad), 78 patients were given an additional treatment with Proresid, and 23 patients were additionally treated with 5-fluorouracil under so-called synchronization conditions. As far as the Proresid is concerned, the combination with the chemotherapy did not bring about an amelioration of the survival rates compared to the results of the radiotherapy alone. The survival rate of the patients treated with cobalt 60 and with 5-fluorouracil even showed a considerable decrease, so that the described combination therapies are not longer used in our institute.
