    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le cancer à petites cellules du poumon a longtemps été considéré comme le cancer le plus radio-sensible mais en fait, la radiothérapie isolée ne constitue pas le traitement le plus adéquat. Le fait que le cancer à petites cellules présente une tendance vers une extension précoce et rapide suggère que la chimiothérapie représente un adjuvant indispensable. De juillet 74 à mars 1978, 101 malades ont été traités au Memorial suivant 3 protocoles. Le traitement initial combinait vincristine, methotrexate, et de fortes doses de cyclophosphamide. La plupart des sujets présentant des lésions limitées furent irradiées. Le taux de réponses satisfaisantes atteint 17%. Ultérieurement, du BCNU et de la Procarbazine furent ajoutés et aucune irradiation ne fut entreprise initialement. Les résultats obtenus ne furent pas différents de ceux obtenus par la précédente combinaison thérapeutique. Le 3ème protocole combina DDP et VP-16. Après 2 cycles les malades reçurent 4 cycles de CAV puis furent à nouveau soumis au DDP et au VP-16. A cette chimiothérapie fut ajoutée l'irradiation. Le taux de réponses complètes atteint 47% avec une survie médiane de 18 mois. Les résultats maximaux furent obtenus après 6 semaines de traitement. Des études plus récentes ont introduit des modifications dans ce traitement, aussi bien sur le plan chimiothérapique que radiothérapique. Pour 43 malades ainsi traités le taux de résultats complets après chimiothérapie fut de 62% et après la fin de la radiothérapie de 83%. Il est à noter cependant que le taux de toxicité fut plu; grand que pour les protocoles précédents.
    Notes: Abstract Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has long been recognized as perhaps the most radiosensitive of all carcinomas, but radiotherapy alone is clearly inadequate treatment. The fact that SCLC has a tendency toward early and wide dissemination suggests that chemotherapy might be an important means of tumor control. From July, 1974, to March, 1978, a total of 101 patients were treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center on 3 protocols designed for SCLC. The initial regime (COMA) combined vincristine, methotrexate, and high doses of cyclophosphamide. Radiation therapy was employed in most patients with limited disease. Complete response (CR) rate was 17%. BCNU and procarbazine were added to the regimen, and radiation was not part of the primary treatment. Neither the total response rate nor the CR was significantly different from those obtained with the COMA regimen. In the third regimen, DDP and VP-16 were combined; after 2 such cycles, the patients received CAV for 4 cycles and then were switched back to DDP and VP-16. Prophylactic cranial irradiation was incorporated into this program. CR rate was 47% and median survival in excess of 18 months. Responses were maximal by the end of the first 6 weeks of treatment. Recent studies include the modifications of abandonment of fixed time intervals for recycling treatment and reintroduction of radiation therapy to the primary complex. Of 43 patients so treated, the CR rate from chemotherapy induction is 62%; after conclusion of radiation, 83% are in CR. However, acute toxicity is significantly greater than that of our previous programs.

    Notes: Summary Twenty patients with advanced epidermoid carcinoma from primary sites in the head and neck region received adequate trials of therapy with m-AMSA, at starting doses of 90 or 120 mg/m2. Despite the good median performance status of the group (median 80) and the fact that 50% of the patients had received no prior chemotherapy, only one minor response was achieved. AMSA appears to have no useful activity in this dose and schedule in patients with epidermoid head and neck cancer.
