| pubmed-article:1945001 | pubmed:abstractText | Preoperative integrated neo-adjuvant radio-chemotherapy was performed in 8 patients suffering from NSCLC bronchial carcinoma at stages IIIA-IIIB (N3 mediastinal). After treatment, 7 patients underwent apparently radical pulmonary exeresis, whereas the patient with adenocarcinoma (T2 N2 M0) was not operated due to the recurrence of disease following supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. Preoperative radio-chemotherapy allows the sub-staging of the disease and the insertion of these patients into the operating programme. | lld:pubmed |
