[A complete response (CR) case of multiple lung metastases after radical lobectomy for non-small-cell-lung cancer obtained by cisplatin+vindesine]

A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, and underwent right upper lobectomy in October 2000. Histological findings were as follows: 2.5 cm in diameter, moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, ly0, v0, n0, pT1N0M0, stage IA. No adjuvant therapies were performed. Multiple lung metastases were detected on CT scan in June 2001, and four cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin+vindesine (day 1: cisplatin 100 mg/body, days 1, 8 and 15: vindesine 3 mg/body) were performed. The metastases were completely disappeared on CT scan in December 2001. No relapse has been seen for six years and two months.
