Do you still consider surgery for N2 NSCLC in the era of consolidative immunotherapy?

The NCCN guidelines suggest surgery can be considered for up to T3N2 NSCLC after a period of induction chemotherapy/chemo-radiation without progression. Does the PACIFIC study change your approach?

Yes. We still consider surgery for selected patients after chemoradiation for stage IIIA NSCLC. However this decision is made prior to starting induction therapy.
