Abstract:
In stage III non small cell lung cancer initial tumor size is a neglected prognostic factor. 22 patients with stage III disease have been treated with radio-chemotherapy (cisplatin/vindesine). A significant (p less than 0.001) influence of initial tumor size on local control can be demonstrated. Future treatment strategies should include initial tumor size.
