Objective To report evidence-based treatment for 2 case of Ⅱ B stage non-small cell lung cancer.
Methods We searched systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials in The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2009), MEDLINE (PubMed, January 1970 to June 2009) and ACP Journal Club (1996 to June 2009), and evaluated the evidence.
Results The best clinical evidence for Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage non-small cell lung cancer patients showed that in the patients with resectable nonsmall cell lung cancer, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy could not improve survival compared with surgery alone. We did not find evidence which indicated that preoperative chemotherapy improved survival in people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer.
Conclusion In accordance with the wishes of the patient and family, they do not accept the radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but choose palliative and supportive therapy.
