Abstract
Our previously reported randomized study of patients with untreated, p otentially resectable clinical stage IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer f ound that patients treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery had a significant increase in median survival compared to patients tr eated with surgery alone. We have now re-analyzed the results of the s tudy with a median time from random allocation to analysis for all pat ients of 82 months. The increase in survival conferred by perioperativ e chemotherapy was maintained during the period of extended observatio n. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
