Journal Article
Intensive chemotherapy of small cell bronchogenic carcinoma.
M. H. Cohen,Patrick J. Creaven,Byron E. Fossieck,L. E. Broder,Selawry Os,A. V. Johnston,C. L. Williams,John D. Minna +7 more
TL;DR: High-dose chemotherapy gives better responses and longer survival than previously utilized standard doses of the same drugs and can safely be treated in the hospital ward.
Journal ArticleDOI
The clinical behavior of „mixed”︁ small cell/large cell bronchogenic carcinoma compared to „pure”︁ small cell subtypes
Peter A. Radice,Mary J. Matthews,Daniel C. Ihde,Adi F. Gazdar,Desmond N. Carney,Paul A. Bunn,Martin H. Cohen,Byron E. Fossieck,Robert W. Makuch,John D. Minna +9 more
TL;DR: Mixed histology small cell/large cell carcinoma represents a distinct pathologic variant of small cell carcinomas of the lung, associated with lower response rates and shorter survival than the ‘pure’ small cell subtypes.
Journal Article
Cyclic alternating combination chemotherapy for small cell bronchogenic carcinoma.
Martin H. Cohen,Daniel C. Ihde,Paul A. Bunn,Byron E. Fossieck,Mary J. Matthews,Stanley E. Shackney,A Johnston-Early,Robert W. Makuch,John D. Minna +8 more
TL;DR: Sequential use of non-cross-resistant drug combinations represents one method for increasing the CR rate and prolong survival in small cell bronchogenic carcinoma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking abstinence and small cell lung cancer survival. An association
Anita Johnston-Early,Martin H. Cohen,John D. Minna,Lillian M. Paxton,Byron E. Fossieck,Daniel C. Ihde,Paul A. Bunn,Mary J. Matthews,Robert W. Makuch +8 more
TL;DR: Continuation of smoking during the treatment of small cell lung cancer was associated with a poor prognosis, while discontinuation ofsmoking, even at diagnosis, may have beneficial effects on survival.
