Ten patients with localized small cell carcinoma of the lung (clinical
stages I and II) were treated by surgical resection more than 2 years ago;
operation was followed by a course of intensive combination chemotherapy.
Relapse of the disease has occurred in the central nervous system in 1
patient. One patient died of a surgical complication, and another died more
than 4 years later of an unrelated malignancy. All others remain well, and
3 patients have survived longer than 5 years following resection.
