Abstract

The survival advantage for selected patients with Stage III NSCLC treated with chemo-RT in this study did not result from a more favorable pretreatment radiologic Stage III substage. An advantage for induction chemotherapy was seen in patients with Stage IIIa and IIIb disease. Future studies in this population should prospectively assess and consider stratification for Stage III substage.
