| Description | Forty-five patients with non-small-cell lung cancer underwent treatment with gefitinib; 51% of them had prior radiotherapy. Treatment duration was 1 to 14 months (median, 3 months). Diseased progressed in 18 patients within 3 months, but stabilised in 27 patients for longer than 3 months. Disease-related symptoms were generally milder after gefitinib treatment. |
