Aim: In this study, the efficacy and safety of cisplatin and etoposide (PE) combination in the adjuvant treatment of patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated. Material and Method: We retrospectively evaluated the medical charts of patients receiving adjuvant treatment for NSCLC at our center. Results: Forty-five patients were evaluated. The disease-free survival was 10 (1-114) months and the median overall survival was 18 (3-114) months. Discussion: Based on our limited experience, we concluded that PE regimen is safe and effective as adjuvant therapy for patients with NSCLC.
