Abstract:
Lung cancer is the worldwide most widespread tumor disease with very poor prognosis. It is the most frequent cause of death on a malignancy. Surgery remains the treatment of choice, however, it can be applied to a small number of patients who are at the time of diagnosis in the operable stage. Chemoradiotherapy can be used either as an exclusive or as a neoadjuvant treatment. This paper reviews chemoradiotherapy regiments in those two clinical situations. With exclusive chemoradiotherapy, the concomitant scheme seems to be the most favourable.
