Abstract
The majority of articles reviewed stress the high risks of morbidity and mortality with pneumonectomy after chemoradiation. Although some centers still routinely perform this approach, results from prospectively collected data in a careful trial setting are needed to validate this approach. Until then, pneumonectomy after chemoradiation should be used with caution in experienced centers.
