N2 - Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related death in both men and women in the United States. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for approximately 85% of these cases. Despite complete resection, long-term survival for patients with operable disease remains poor. Studies exploring postoperative chemotherapy have not shown improved survival. Preoperative chemotherapy has shown promise in stage III disease and is currently under investigation for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer.
