Résumé
Although the average age of lung cancer patients is increasing, many elderly patients remain undertreated, mainly because of the fear of higher treatment toxicity in this category of patients. We conducted a study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a combination therapy with carboplatin (C) and etoposide phosphate (EP) in elderly patients with Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).
