Histopathologically, 67 cases of them were the squamous cell carcinoma, 7 cases were the adenocarcinoma, 4 cases were the large cell undifferentiated carcinoma and 12 cases were the small cell carcinoma. Among the 78 patients with non small cell carcinoma, 50 patients had received radiation dosage above 4000 cgy. 40 patient had follow up from 17 months to 53 months. The complete response rate was 7.3% and partial response rate was 68.3%. Overall survival at 1,2 and 3 years were 47.5%, 23.5% and 6.3% respectively. None was survived longer than 38 months.
