Objective: To determine the outcome of all patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) treated at the US National Cancer Institute between April 1973 and April 1993.

Design: We retrospectively analyzed a series of 594 consecutive patients with SCLC treated at a single institution during a 20-year period to assess changes in duration of survival and toxicity related to various treatment regimens.
