ABSTRACT
We analyzed 8 patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer who responded to chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy and underwent complete resection between June 2003 and June 2005. The patients were all male with a mean age of 61 years (range, 42 to 72 years). Histological subtypes included adenocarcinoma in 4 patients and squamous cell carcinoma in 4 patients. Clinical staging included T2N2M0 in 3 patients, T2N3M0 in 2 patients, and 1 patient each for T3N2M0, T4N2M0, and T4N3M0. Preoperative treatment included chemotherapy in 5 patients and chemoradiotherapy in 3 patients, all of whom had a partial response. Surgical procedures included lobectomy in 6 patients and pneumonectomy in 2 patients. In addition, all of the patients underwent mediastinal lymph node dissection (ND2a). Pathological effect included Ef. 0 in 1 patient, Ef. 1 in 2 patients, Ef. 2 in 2 patients, Ef. 3 in 3 patients. The median survival time from initial treatment (or surgery) was 16 (14) months in all cases, 22 (19) for ycN0, 12 (8) for ycN2, 31 (27) for Ef. 3, 13 (9) for Ef. 0-2, 27 (23) for pN0, 13 (9) for pN1-3, 31 (27) for chemoradiotherapy, 16 (13) for chemotherapy, 24 (21) for adenocarcinoma, and 15 (11) for squamous cell carcinoma. Multimodality treatment, including surgery, is beneficial for patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer who respond to chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, especially those patients with ycN0 or pN0.
