Clinical Prediction of Pathologic Complete Response in Superior Sulcus Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Preoperative chemoradiation frequently resulted in pCR, and treatment response on imaging was associated with the likelihood of achieving pCR. Future investigations are warranted to further predict pCR from preoperative clinical variables such as symptom resolution, as identification of accurate predictors may ultimately permit the application of selective surgical intervention in superior sulcus NSCLC.
