Medium or long-term survival in metastatic non oat cell lung tumors is seldom possible only if surgery can eradicate the lesion. Out of 17 patients treated with hyperthermia plus nitrosoureas 16 (94%) responded, with clinical improvement, radiological regression or disease stabilization. The survival time of the improved patients was 12.7 months. Hyperthermia in combination with nitrosoureas seems to allow clinically and radiologically satisfactory responses in lung tumors metastatic to the brain. Clinical trial
