The effectiveness of treatment (surgery; surgery + chemotherapy) was compared in a group of 122 patients with small-cell lung cancer. Median survival after postoperative chemotherapy rose from 40.9 to 81.8 weeks. However, five-year survival was nearly identical--8.1% (surgery) and 10.0% (surgery + chemotherapy).
