...The complete pathologic response rate in this study is revealed to be low, lower than expected after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer: only 60%....
Forty-nine patients with limited metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (three or fewer metastatic sites) who did not progress on initial systemic therapy were randomized to surgery or RT vs standard...
This comprises the eagerly anticipated summary of the second primary endpoint of the PACIFIC trial of Durvalumab vs placebo in patients who completed CT/RT without progression for unresectable stage III...
This provocative editorial outlines concepts that thoracic surgeons should understand in the era of immunotherapy for potentially resectable N2 disease.
...Gilbert Massard of the Centre Hospitalier in Strasbourg, France, discusses difficult treatment decisions in lung cancer. He reviews the different treatment approaches for oligometastasis, ground glass opacities, and multiple primary...
