Postoperative Radiotherapy is Associated with Better Survival in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer with Involved N2 Lymph Nodes: Results of an Analysis of the National Cancer Data Base

Conclusions: PORT was associated with better survival for patients with pN2 nodes also treated with chemotherapy. No interaction was seen between benefit of PORT and number of involved nodes. These findings reinforce the benefit of PORT for N2 disease in modern practice using the largest, most recent cohort of chemotherapy-treated pN2 patients to date.
