Abstract: | The paper discusses the results of phase II clinical trials of chemotherapy regimens using newly-developed cytostatics for disseminated small cell lung cancer. Taxotere (docetaxel)/cisplatin and campto(irinotecan)/cisplatin were investigated as first-line treatment. Doxorubicin and vincristine in combinations with a novel antitumor cytostatic aranoza were studied for application as second-line treatment. Safety and immediate- and end results were reviewed. Taxotere (docetaxel)/cisplatin and campto(irinotecan)/cisplatin regimens were compared. |
