[Which therapeutic attitude should be adopted in the presence of non-small cell bronchopulmonary cancer?]
Abstract
Complete surgical excision is the best method of obtaining cure. However, this is only possible in less than one quarter of the patients. In all of the other patients, the hopes for cure are based on combinations of chemotherapy-radiotherapy-surgery, in particular preoperative chemotherapy. Phase II trials of chemotherapy are underway. Real progress will only be achieved when joint multicentric studies can be conducted.
