Abstrakt		In spite of significant improvement in local and in systemic treatment, long-term survival of patients with locally advanced nonsmall cell Iutig cancer (NSCLC) remains disappointing. The main reason may be our reluctance to explore the optimal ways of combining new modalities of irradiation .with the new drugs. A survey of on-going clinical trials points to weak scientific collaboration between radiotherapists and medical oncologists. A comparison of different treatment strategies reveals that only the best local treatment combined with the best systemic treatment can lead to a clinically meaningful improvement in long-term survival. During a higher percentage of patients is the first step in our attempts to combat therapeutic nihilism.
