The Outcome of Bifocal Surgical Resection in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Synchronous Brain Metastases: Results of a Single Center Retrospective Study

Abstract

NSCLC patients with resectable solitary cranial metastasis, low locoregional stage (stages IA, IB, IIA) in which T3 status is counted out, with no mediastinal lymph node involvement or any other extrathoracic spread will mostly benefit from consecutive complete resection of both tumors and are supposed to have a better survival.
