- Abstract
This paper reports a prospective randomized multicenter trial of two fractionation schemes in the supervoltage radiotherapy of locally inoperable epidermoid lung cancer. This study was stimulated by the need to provide improved and more acceptable treatment methods for patients with this condition, the most common cell type of lung cancer. The majority of such patients are not suitable for resection because of metastasis or because of extensive local disease, even though exploratory thoracotomy may be performed. It was therefore considered important to identify preferred methods of irradiation in this situation which is found in a large proportion of patients with lung cancer.
