Abstract
Stage IIIA (N2) non–small-cell lung cancer patients undergoing surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy had locoregional recurrence of 15.1% compared to 30.3% in those completing definitive chemoradiation. At 5 years, overall survival (OS) was 50.8% and disease-free survival (DFS) was 33.1% in resected patients, whereas in unresected patients OS and DFS were 29.2% and 20.5%, respectively. Surgery may continue to play a role in well-selected stage IIIA (N2) patients.
