Abstrakt | For the optimisation of the therapy for small cell bronchial carcinomas (SCLC), surgery is used to eliminate the primary tumor and its regional lymph nodes and chemo- and radiotherapy for the general treatment of micrometastasis. After patho-histological examination of the operation specimen, randomization for two arms is performed for a standard chemotherapy (CAV) or a sequential chemotherapy using three different drug combinations. Thereafter all disease-free patients receive prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). Preliminary evaluations in December 1987, of 112 patients from 19 cooperating departments show that the survival rate projected for 2 yr of 43 patients at stage pT1-3 N0 M0 is 76 percent, of 43 patients at stage pT1-3 N1 M0 it is 63 percent and of 26 patients at stage pT1-3 N2 M0 it is 38 percent. | |
