Abstract
Non small cell lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the industrial countries and some 70% of patients have non surgically eradicable disease. Platinum based combined regimens can achieve 35-40% objective responses, but advanced age, low performance status and concurrent diseases can exclude up to 60% of patients from an adequate poliychemotherapy treatment.
