Description

Seventeen patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung treated in our clinic during 8 years from 1972 to 1979, were evaluated and 4 long-term survivors of more than 2 years were recognized.The possible conditions that can be expected to yield long term survival are considered to be as follows;<BR>(1) Peripherally located solitary nodule.<BR>(2) Intermediate cell subtype.<BR>(3) Marked response to initial chemotherapy or radiation therapy.<BR>In addition to the above conditions, bronchial artery infusion therapy (BAI) with anti-cancer agents as initial treatment and long-term immunochemotherapy seem to be considerably effective and important to improve the poor prognosis of small cell carcinoma of the lung.
