Abstract
The use of CPB allows for complete, en bloc resection in otherwise inoperable patients with T4 NSCLC and offers similar overall and disease-free survival to patients resected without CPB. All thoracic surgeons who manage T4 NSCLC should consider the use of CPB if it is necessary to achieve a complete, en bloc resection.
