Akciğer Kanserlerinde Kemoterapi Sonuçlarının Klinik Değerlendirmesi
Abstract
This study evaluates the results of cytostatic treatment in 118 out of 315 lung cancer patients hospitalized at the Pulmonary Diseases Clinic of Ankara University Medical Faculty during 1971–1972. Chemotherapeutic agents such as Dichloren and Endoxan were administered via systemic, oral, and intrapleural routes; in some cases, combined therapy included Adriamycin, Bleomycin, and Oncovin. The primary goals were to achieve objective and subjective improvement, extend survival, and alleviate symptoms. More favorable outcomes were observed in undifferentiated and squamous cell carcinoma types. Dichloren proved effective in cases of malignant lymphoma and pleurisy. However, due to potential adverse effects, careful monitoring and dosage adjustments are recommended.
