Washington, Nov 10 (ANI): According to a new study, chemotherapy given at the same time as radiation therapy might help patients with a certain type of lung cancer live longer than they might have otherwise if the same treatment was given differently.
The study, led by Walter Curran Jr., M.D., professor and chair of Radiation Oncology at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Centre in Philadelphia, found that the combination may help patients live longer by 50 percent.
