Abstract:
:A controlled clinical trial compared three-drug and four-drug combination chemotherapy in 109 patients with advanced small-cell anaplastic carcinoma of the lung. The combination of vincristine, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (CCNU), cyclophosphamide, and methotrexate was significantly superior to the combination of the last three drugs alone with regard to median survival (230 versus 176 days) (P less than 0.01) and to duration of response (186 versus 112 days) (P less than 0.01). Objective response occurred in 78% and 75%, respectively. No significant difference in these values was observed in the comparison of the three subtypes of small-cell anaplastic carcinoma using the World Health Organization classification.
