Abstract

After irradiation of locally unresectable epidermoid bronchial carcinoma, 1 year of chemotherapy is significantly superior in delaying both local recurrences and distant metastases and prolonging the disease-free interval. However, BCG immunotherapy alone seems to be superior in terms of survival to no therapy, chemotherapy, and immunochemotherapy. This could be due to a better tolerance to secondary treatments given at time of recurrence.
