Research progress on postoperative radiotherapy for T3 N0-1M0 non-small cell lung cancer with chest wall invasion / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Currently,lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the world.The local control (LC) rate is only 20％-40％ for patients with local advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Hence,reducing the LC rate and enhancing the overall survival (OS) are pivotal research objectives.However,postoperative adjuvant treatment for patients with early NSCLC with chest wall invasion is still controversial.In this article,the research progress on T3 N0-1M0 NSCLC with chest wall invasion was reviewed from the perspectives including anatomical features,types of resection,patterns of failure and postoperative radiotherapy,etc.
