Abstract:
The treatment results of 197 consecutive patients with non-small cell carcinoma of the lung managed at David Grant USAF Medical Center between January 1978 and September 1985 were reviewed. Patients were staged according to 1983 AJCC criteria as follows: 52 stage I, 28 stage II, and 117 stage III. Five-year survival and freedom from relapse (FFR) were 24% and 32%, respectively, for the entire population. Survival and FFR by stage were: stage I, 68% and 77% (5-year); stage II, 32% and 43% (5-year); and stage III, 10% and 10% (3-year), respectively.
