Short communication Combined chemoradiotherapy with daily low-dose cisplatin in locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer

Sixty-one consecutive patients with locally advanced inoperable non-small-cell lung cancer were treated with chemoradiation with 60 Gy and concomitant daily low-dose cisplatin (6 mg/m 2 ) in a single uninterrupted course. Toxicity was mild, 80% of patients were treated as outpatients. The median survival of 70 weeks compares favorably to the literature. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
