Survival Patterns for Patients with Resected N2 Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer and Postoperative Radiotherapy: A Prognostic Scoring Model and Heat Map Approach
The positive-to-resected lymph node ratio (LNR) predicts survival in many cancers, but little information is available on its value for patients with N2 NSCLC who receive postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) after resection. We tested the applicability of prognostic scoring models and heat mapping to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with resected N2 NSCLC and PORT.Outcome after PORT in ypN2 or R1/R2 versus no PORT in ypN0 Stage III-N2 NSCLC after Induction Chemotherapy and Resection
We investigated patients with contemporarily staged and treated stage III-N2 NSCLC treated with induction chemotherapy and surgery with or without postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). We focused on survival and toxicity and investigated what additional PORT may offer in patients with ypN2 status or incomplete resection.
