MicroAbstractAs oral chemotherapy might reduce physiological and psychological burdens on patients, we 40 conducted a feasibility study using S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, as postoperative chemotherapy in 50 patients with curatively resected stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.The completion rate was 72.0% and the 3-year relapse-free survival rate was 69.4%. This protocol seems feasible and may be sufficient to prevent recurrence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
