Abstract
In a pilot study of 29 patients treated for localized small cell lung cancer, three new approaches were introduced, i.e. an increased initial drug dose, an early alternation of chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy and initial accelerated and hyperfractionated irradiation. The results were interesting. However, a high rate of fatal toxicity (21%) was observed.
