The oncologic efficacy of extended resections for lung cancer

Harry Etienne et al. J Surg Oncol. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Extended lung resections for T3-T4 non-small-cell lung cancer remain challenging. Multimodal management is mandatory in multidisciplinary tumor boards, and here the determination of resectability is key. Long-term oncologic efficacy depends mostly on complete resection (R0) and the extent of N2 disease. The development of novel innovative treatments (targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors) sets interesting perspectives to reinforce current therapeutic options in the induction and adjuvant setting.

Keywords: extended resections; locally advanced lung cancer; multimodal treatment; non-small-cell lung cancer; resectability; surgery.
