Experiments suggest that low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. Studies in humans suggest that LMWH is associated with a higher survival in patients with cancer related thrombosis. Two recent studies suggest that LMWH may increase the survival of patients with cancer who do not have an associated thrombosis. The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of LMWH on the overall survival of patients with localized non small cell lung cancer after complete surgical resection.

Phase III, prospective, multicentric, randomized, controlled, open, trial in parallel groups with a blind adjudication of all end-point criteria.
Reference therapy :
Patients randomized to the control group will receive postoperative treatment according to local practice in the participating centers. However, the participating centers will have to comply with the following guidelines.
Patients with a contraindication to postoperative chemotherapy and those who refuse chemotherapy can be included in the study provided they fulfill all inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Experimental treatment Experimental treatment is tinzaparin administered subcutaneously once a day at the dose of 100 IU/Kg during a twelve week period beginning after a maximum period of 8 weeks after surgery. Patients randomized in the experimental group will receive adjuvant postoperative treatment according to local practice with the same guidelines as in the control group. Patients follow-up All patients will be followed according to local practice, but at least two outpatients visits with a chest radiograph will be planned each year during the five-year follow-up period. Duration of the trial. Inclusion period (first patient in to last patient in) : 3 years. Patient total follow-up (from surgery to end of follow-up) : 5 years. Total study period : 8 years.
