Preoperative and postoperative radiotherapy (RT) for non-small cell lung cancer: still an open question

Preoperative and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) with or without chemotherapy has been used in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for decades. Numerous trials have investigated the potential survival benefit of this strategy, but despite greater knowledge of the disease, considerable technological...

description Preoperative and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) with or without chemotherapy has been used in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for decades. Numerous trials have investigated the potential survival benefit of this strategy, but despite greater knowledge of the disease, considerable technological developments in imaging and radiotherapy, and significant progress in surgery, many questions remain unsolved. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on this problem and discuss issues which still require elucidation.
