Concurrent Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy With Nitroglycerin in Patients With Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

Nitroglycerin will increase the effectiveness of treatment with induction chemotherapy and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy by reducing chemo-radio resistance through an increased oxygen pressure in tumoral tissue. The combination treatment of nitroglycerin and chemotherapy will result in longer disease-free and over-all survival in patients with locally advanced NSCLC
