Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialPostoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with PVM (Cisplatin + Vindesine + Mitomycin C) and UFT (Uracil + Tegaful) in resected stage I-II NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer): a randomized clinical trial. West Japan Study Group for lung cancer surgery (WJSG).
The West Japan Study Group For Lung Cancer Surgery (WJSG) conducted a randomized controlled trial in order to assess the usefulness of adjuvant chemotherapy for NSCLC. ⋯ It is interesting to find that among pT1N0 patients, who were not regarded as a target of chemotherapy, those receiving chemotherapy showed significantly better prognostic results. These findings suggest the necessity of further studies on the adjuvant chemotherapy, even in the early stages.
