摘要
Elderly and poor performance status advanced non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) patients often tolerate chemotherapy poorly. Special approaches are needed for these patient populations. Gefitinib ( Iressa) was used in 59 elderly and/or unfit NSCLC pretreated patients participating in a compassionate use programme showing some activity and good tolerability.
