Abstract

131 Patients of non·small cell lung cancer treated with irradiation at Yonsei Canter Center from Jan. 1971 to Dec. 1980 were retrospectively analysed. Overall 5 year survival rate was $7\%$ in 117 cases, treated with radiotherapy alone and $33\%$ in 14 Cases, treated with surgery & postoperative ratiotherapy. Their median survival was 9.6 months in the former, while 11.1 months in the latter. The patients treated with radical aim achieved $10\%$ in 5 YSR and with palliative aim, $0\%$. Also, survival according to histolocial classification and staging was obtained. Treatment failure was mostly distant failure (40 cases/49 cases), and within 6 months (34cases/49cases).
