Management of Stage III Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Optimal management of patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains challenging in the context of this heterogeneous disease. Despite aggressive therapeutic approaches, survival benefits are still unsatisfactory for what might be viewed as a localized malignancy. A combined modality approach offers patients superior outcomes especially since technological advances and refined surgical procedures now provide better results with fewer complications. Nevertheless, several features of therapy remain controversial and lack formal prospective data.
