Five-Year Survival 10 to 15 percent
Investigational
• Adjuvant chemotherapy must still be considered
investigational, but several studies have shown a modest
increase in disease-free survival and overall survival.
• Treatment with radiation or chemotherapy or both before
surgery has been used on an investigational basis in patients
with Stage IIIA disease. Preliminary results suggest that
there may be benefit by combining all three treatments in
selected cases. Newer trials are giving cisplatin with
etoposide , vinca alkaloids or other agents together with
radiation, followed by surgery.
