Abstract

Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) allows pre-operative tumor downstaging and evaluation of pathological response. Clinical trials have demonstrated benefit of using NAT in the context of locally advanced non-small cell cancer (NSCLC). However, NAT is not commonly employed around the world and data are lacking as to how to establish a NAT program for locally advanced resectable NSCLC. The aim of this study is to evaluate the evolution in care patterns for patients with resectable locally advanced NSCLC within a regionalized pulmonary oncology academic network and to assess the impact of transition towards a large-scale NAT program.
