A phase II trial of induction chemotherapy followed by continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

摘要

To the Editor, We read with great interest the paper by Jenkins et al. on induction chemotherapy followed by CHART in locally advanced NSCLC [1 ], since a similar approach has been carried out in our Institution too [2]. Being our experience hampered by low accrual and treatment heterogeneity (patients was irradiated with either post-operative or definitive purpose), it's not our aim to compare our results to the ones reported in the present report. Nevertheless, a similitude does exists and some statements seem worthwhile to be discussed.
