Non-Small-Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

  • Chapter
Concomitant Continuous Infusion Chemotherapy and Radiation

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

It is estimated that in the United States during 1989, 155000 cases of carcinoma of the lung will occur and that close to 142000 of these patients will die within 1 year from their disease (Silver-Berg and Lubera 1989). At present in the United States, the incidence and death rate from this disease for females has surpassed that for breast cancer in the 55–74 year age group (Silverberg and Lubera 1989) and is directly related to cigarette smoking. There is clearly an overwhelming need for the implementation of programs directed at the prevention of this disease. Meanwhile, in the face of current statistics, it is a priority among multispecialty cancer physicians to improve and discover new treatment modalities for this most intractable form of the disease.
