| Popis: | Ten patients with localized small cell carcinoma of the lung (clinical stages I and II) were treated by surgical resection more than 2 years ago; operation was followed by a course of intensive combination chemotherapy. Relapse of the disease has occurred in the central nervous system in 1 patient. One patient died of a surgical complication, and another died more than 4 years later of an unrelated malignancy. All others remain well, and 3 patients have survived longer than 5 years following resection. |
