“…Among the non -platin-based chemotherapy regimens, only adjuvant UFT (uracil and tegafur compound) has also been shown to improve survival in a large Japanese trial that accrued 999 patients with pathologic stage I adenocarcinoma (7) results were recently confirmed in a meta-analysis of six randomized trials based on individual patient data (8), but this drug is currently not available for NSCLC in most of the Western countries. UFT may be used as an adjuvant option in Japan.…”

“…These findings prompted renewed interest for postoperative chemotherapy in completely resected NSCLC (Table 4). Several reported randomized trials [74][75][76][77][78][79][80] are consistent, with overlapping confidence intervals, favoring a beneficial effect of postoperative platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. A better definition of those patients more likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy should be obtained with the LACE meta-analysis of these new trials that will be reported shortly.…”

“…Allerdings erhielten nur 74% der Patienten mindestens 2/3 der geplanten Chemotherapie, und die elektive Gemcitabin in der First-line-Therapie des lokal fortgeschrittenen und metastasierten NSCLC Auch die japanische Metaanalyse von Hamada et al, die auf einer patientenbezogenen Auswertung von sechs systematisch identifizierten Studien zur adjuvanten Chemotherapie des NSCLC der Stadien I-III beruht, ergab 5-Jahres-Überlebens-raten von 77,2% (ohne CT) und 81,8% (mit CT) bzw. 7-Jahres-Überlebensraten von 69,5% (ohne CT) und 76,5% (mit CT) [87]. Trotz dieser ermutigenden Ergebnisse besteht weiterhin besonderes Interesse an Daten zur neoadjuvanten Therapie, da die Patienten eine präoperative Chemotherapie besser tolerieren und sich hier das Tumoransprechen objektiv verfolgen lässt.…”
