Abstract
For 14 (6%) out of 240 patients with patterns of diffuse disseminated metastatic disease, gefitinib offered a lasting tumor control with a disease progression-free survival interval between 9 and 25 months. In parallel to therapy, patients' performance status (PS) could be conserved or even improved in many cases. Patients with lung function impairment, as well as patients with other disease-related symptoms obtained additional therapy benefits.
