How do you approach nodal coverage in PORT for NSCLC with involved station 8?
Would you treat to the GEJ regardless of whether the positive node was identified in the upper portion of station 8? Do surgeons routinely dissect to the lower portion of station 8?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
My recommendation is to review pre-op image and discuss with the surgeon who did the operation. Station 8 is not routinely sampled or dissected for NSCLC. I don't recommend to cover GEJ routinely due to toxicity.
