Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the relationship between the dose and the effect treatment of concomitant chemotherapy in stage IIIb non-small cell lung cancer at K Hospital. Materials and methods: A prospective study describes 70 patients with stage IIIb non-small cell lung cancer receiving chemotherapy with concomitant paclitaxel-carboplatin and accelerated radiotherapy. Results: Patients who received enough chemoradiation had higher efficacy than those who did not receive enough. Conclusion: Sufficient treatment is recommended, if not enough, radiotherapy should be given priority.
