Popis: Chemotherapy is controversial in non-metastatic typical carcinoid (TC) tumors. Therefore, it was aimed to evaluate the impact of platin-based chemotherapy on the survival of patients with lung TC. The medical records of patients who underwent surgical resection for non-metastatic TC from 2002 to 2020 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariate regression analysis was performed for chemotherapy and prognostic factors in disease-free survival (DFS) in 72 patients. The pathological stages of patients were as follows: 73.6% of the patients were in stage I, 15.3% in stage II and 11.1% in stage III. A total of 5 patients (6.9%) received platin-based chemotherapy and 6 patients (8.3%) had recurrences. The DFS rates at 12, 36 and 60 months were 98.5, 95.1 and 92.5%, respectively. Log-rank testing showed that patients who received chemotherapy and had stage III disease had shorter DFS (P=0.021 for chemotherapy and P
