Bronchogenic carcinoma a review and study

The Nurse Practitioner
P Chaffin, S Reininger

Abstract

The preceding review of bronchogenic carcinoma and our own experience with lung cancer patients, indicate that long-term survival of these patients has only minimally improved. Advanced lung cancer does not significantly respond to the current treatment armamentarium, but present research and clinical trials of such new treatments as immunotherapy and interferon therapy may give hope for the future. At present our biggest weapon against lung cancer is still the elimination of cigarette smoking. Until we achieve this unlikely goal or greatly improve our success in treating the disease, we will need to continue our commitment to assist the patient with lung cancer in achieving the highest quality of life.
