Abstract
Despite contemporary staging procedures and surgical techniques for early-stage NSCLC, LRF occurs in approximately 1 of 4 patients. The observed rates of LRF are similar to those reported more than a decade ago, suggesting that local/regional control remains a persistent problem. The use of additional local treatments, such as radiotherapy, should be reevaluated to further improve outcomes.
