Abstract
In patients treated by non-surgical means we were unable to show that lung tumor volume, overall, provides additional prognostic information beyond the T and N stage (TNM, 6th edition). There is evidence, however, that larger primary tumor volume adversely affects outcome only within the first 18Â months. Larger tumor size alone should not by itself exclude patients from curative (chemo)radiotherapy.
