- Abstract
To evaluate the therapeutic effect of surgery combined with radiotherapy in lung cancer, 385 operative cases, and 308 received combined treatment, were analyzed. The 5-year survival rate of T3 cases among pTNM-stage III cases undergoing surgery was 2.4% (1/42), while that of cases receiving combined radiotherapy was 18.9% (14/74), which showed some effectiveness. The 5 year survival rate of N2 (n3), operation only cases and combined treatment cases were 5.3% (2/38), and 8.9% (8/90), respectively. Long-term survival among cases of extensive mediastinal metastasis (# 1-9) confirmed the effect of combined therapy. Combined therapy effect was recognized in squamous cell carcinoma.
