Radiotherapy of inoperable lung cancer

Journal Article · · Int. J. Radiat. Oncol., Biol. Phys.; (United States)
Evaluation of loco-regional results obtained by radiotherapy for 31 patients with inoperable epidermoid lung cancer revealed objective remission (over 50%) in only 25% of patients. These results emphasize the limited effectiveness of radiotherapy in such cases and point out the need for increased research in radiotherapy techniques if survival rates are to be improved.
