Abstract
Respectable survival can be achieved after neoadjuvant chemoradiation, followed by anatomic resection, in selected patients with clinically advanced NSCLC. A T0 primary tumor or N0 lymph node status individually, or together as a complete response (T0 N0) status, is associated with the best long-term survival. Survival is most favorable for lobectomies vs pneumonectomies after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy.
