The Use of Nitrogen Mustard in Advanced Bronchogenic Carcinoma

MORTIMER RAPHAEL M.D.1 and CARL N. REILLY M.D.1

1 The Department of Medicine and Radiology, Veterans Administration Hospital, New Orleans, Louisiana.

1) Nitrogen mustard is a valuable adjunctive agent for therapy of in-operable bronchogenic carcinoma.

2) Benefit was obtained in 46.5 per cent of cases studied in this series.

3) The agent is particularly valuable where superior vena cava obstruction must be relieved rapidly. Histologically undifferentiated cells showed the most marked response.

4) The attitude that there is little to be gained from palliation is incorrect.[See FIGURE2 in source pdf].
