A study was made of chemotherapy for inoperable carcinoma of the bronchus. Only patients with symptoms directly due to the tumour or with evidence of rapid tumour growth were selected for treatment. Half the patients selected in this way responded and in these patients survival may have been prolonged. The regimen chosen caused the minimum of interference with the patient's life and, by relief of symptoms, appeared to offer an improvement in the quality of life.
