Abstract

There is limited consensus on the optimal treatment strategy for cM1a non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the setting of contralateral lung involvement. Current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend surgery for a subset of Stage IVA that is node-negative (N0 M1a) where primary tumors present with a solitary contralateral lung nodule; however, no clear recommendations have been made for node-positive disease. This study sought to assess long-term survival of patients receiving either systemic therapy (with or without radiation) or multimodality therapy that included surgery for cM1a NSCLC with contralateral lung involvement.
