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?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution
Yes. We still consider surgery for selected patients after chemoradiation for stage IIIA NSCLC. However this decision is made prior to starting induction therapy.
