摘要:
Lung cancer has the highest cancer mortality in Switzerland. 80% of all lung cancer patients are patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Despite advances in the pre-treatment evaluation and treatment strategies, cure for non-small cell lung cancer ist still rare. Multimodality approaches specifically for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer are among the most promising strategies to improve long term tumour control. In this paper we discuss the role of radical primary and adjuvant radiotherapy for a stage one to four non-small cell lung cancer.
