Popis: 49 patients with disseminated bronchogenic carcinoma (small cell, 16;squamous cell, 17;large cell, 12;adeno, 4) were treated with a combination of adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine and DTIC. In a randomized series (21 patients) chemotherapy alone was compared to chemotherapy plus heparin. Partial remission was achieved in 8 patients with small cell carcinoma, in 5 patients with large carcinoma and in 2 patients with squamous cell carcinoma. The survival of patients who responded to therapy was greater than the survival of patients who did not respond to therapy. The duration of remission and the survival time was not longer in patients who had additional heparin therapy.
