Abstract
Superior sulcus tumors have been long defined as a distinct clinical entity. Symptoms including Horner’s syndrome and other neurologic findings as well as severe shoulder pain and SVC syndrome characterize this disease. Early on, the use of preoperative therapy was recognized as potentially useful. Over time, initial chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery has emerged as standard of care for patients with T3 or T4 lesions and N0 or N1 disease. 3-year survival rates of approximately 60% have been reported for surgically resectable patients with advanced disease.
