Quimioterapia y supervivencia en el carcinoma broncogénico no microcítico en estadios avanzados: ¿está justificado el nihilismo de los neumólogos?

In normal clinical practice, chemotherapy significantly prolongs survival in patients with performance status of less than 2, more time being gained if there is no associated weight loss. We conclude that the reluctance shown by many pneumologists toward using this treatment is not entirely justified.
