Twenty-two patients with a variety of inoperable cancers of the lung were treated by either radiation alone or the combination of radiation and 5-fluorouracil. While the combined approach showed a slightly better response rate, toxicity was great and two patients died, probably as a result of the drug. The authors have since discontinued the combined approach to cancer of the lung.
