| Abstract: | The results of surgery in stage IIIA (N2) disease has prompted Phase II studies examining the role of induction chemoeradiotherapy prior to surgery. Early results suggest a prolonged median survival time and somewhat improved long-term survival for patients treated in this fashion. Surgeons must be involved in pretherapy surgical staging and assessment of the patients for potential resection following induction treatment. Although surgery is more difficult at this stage of disease, especially after induction treatment, morbidity and mortality results appear acceptable. © 1993. |
