Abstract

Stage IIIA-N2 Non-small cell lung cancer includes heterogenous group of patients with a poor 5-year survival ranging from 13% to 36% with surgery alone. Various randomized controlled trials established the role of multimodality treatment either including or excluding surgical resection. In a select group of non-bulky/ single station N2 disease, the better results have been achieved with induction chemotherapy or chemo-radiotherapy followed by surgery.
