Lung cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to cure, because early diagnosis and early curative treatment are more difficult than in gastrointestinal cancer. Diagnosis of gastric cancer, especially early cancer, has made great progress in Japan in the past 10 years due to the introduction of endoscopy. Only 26.5% of 809 p~ tients with lung cancer were operated on during the past 10 years in Aichi Cancer Center Hospital, and curative rc; section oftumors was undertaken in only 16.5% of the total number of patients. Thus, it is apparent that chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy are important in the treatment oflung cancer. This paper presents a short review of the progress in the field of lung cancer chemotherapy in Japan.
