Abstract:
Objective : To explore the clinical curative effect and characteristics of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in chemotherapy and operation.
Methods : A total of 16 cases with SCLC were treated with Topotecan (TPT) and Carboplatin (CBP) before operation, TPT 1.5mg/m
2/d from day 1 to day 5 and CBP400mg/m
2/d at day 5. A Pneumonectomy or lobipulm onectomy and lym phoidectomy were com pleted, after 4 weeks of chemotherapy.
Results : Clinical curative effect of the patients with chemotherapy was CR 1, PR 6, M R6, SD2 and PD1. Respite rate was 43.8T. The 1-year postoperative survival rate was 75.0T.
conclusions : The efficacy of chemotherapy in TP T and CBP, combined with the operation in treatment of SCLC, is better compared to any single therapy. The patients can tolerate the chemotherapy side-effects w ell. The treatment may bring about a better condition for a quite long survival time.
