Abstract

Background: In stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the role of systemic chemotherapy preceding or following concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CT-RT) is unclear. We carried out a randomized phase II study to study the toxicity involved-field CT-RT with either induction or consolidation cisplatin-docetaxel (Taxotere).
