Abstract

Neoadjuvant treatments for locally advanced lung cancers continue to evolve, and more compelling prospective data are becoming available. Neoadjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation for stage I or II disease has not been well supported, with the exception of attempting to downstage tumors before surgical resection.1 Phase II trials established the current standard of care of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection for superior sulcus tumors, and current guidelines support the role of neoadjuvant treatment for patients with stage IIIA disease, including patients with nonbulky N2 involvement.
