Radiation adds to lung cancer survival(Reuters)Updated: 2006-11-07 14:17 WASHINGTON - Adding a course of radiation to chemotherapy can double the lives of some lung cancer patients, European researchers reported on Monday. The patients had stage 3 lung cancer, which has spread to lymph nodes outside
the lung but not throughout the body. Such patients often have the visible
tumors removed and then get chemotherapy, too, to delay any further
spread. |
