Author(s): ANNA BRZOZOWSKA, MARIA MAZURKIEWICZ

Preferred method of treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer of early degrees of progression is an operative procedure. In spite of early stage, results of the treatment are still bad, because during observation remote metastases reveal in over 50% of patients and local recurrences in almost 10 % of patients. Bad prognosis in patients with lung cancer after radical operation induces to apply complementary treatment. As far as such treatment appeared to be effective in patients with other malignant neoplasms, it remains controversial in case of patients with lung cancer. The paper presents the most important studies evaluating the role of postoperative radiotherapy in patients with lung cancer after complete operation.
