We have studied the clinical impact of elective brain irradiation (EBI) in patients with locally advanced, non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSC). All patients received combination chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin (Adriamycin) + cisplatin = CAP) or CAP plus radiotherapy as the initial treat
Because Cisplatin potentiates the effect of radiotherapy in animal tumor systems and because Cisplatin is capable of causing regressions of human malignant melanomas, a study was initiated in patients with malignant melanoma metastatic to brain to investigate the feasibility of administering Cisplat
