Synthesis of the 2 trials In both studies, there were good results for patients having had a lobectomy but the operative mortality of the pneumonectomy patients meant that any benefit of surgery was cancelled out.
Resection after radio-chemotherapy >60G • 326 cases (1997-2007), Pet for all • proven N2, non bulky, invasion of 1 station predominently • Radio-chemotherapy >60G • Re-staging after 4 weeks with Pet-CT • 149 thoracotomies (46%) for responders (Day +51) • 36 exploratory thoracotomies • 116 resections (surgical mortality 1.7%): 91 L, 14 Pn, 8 S • 23% histologic sterilisation only • 5 year survival • 17% without resection • 42% with resection but pN2(n=14) • 49% with resection and pT1-3N0N1(n=65) • 53% with resection and pT0N0 (n=34) Cerfolio ATSurg 2008 86 912-20
Locoregional recurrence for N2 patients • Exclusive chemoradiotherapy 60G: 68% (5yrs) (7 trials from RTOG) • Machtay JTO 2012:7;716-22 • Surgery: 40% (5yrs) • Scotti Radioth Oncol 2010;96:84-88 • Surgery and PORT: 20% (5yrs) • Scotti Radioth Oncol 2010;96:84-88
In short • Post surgical local control is superior compared with chemo radiotherapy alone, and better with PORT • Post operative risk determines the therapeutic options • If post operative risk is low, surgery is preferable for N2 patients, especially uni-stationN2, even by pneumonectomy, and may be performed directly followed by adjuvant chemotherapy • If operative risk is high, poor prognostic factors lead to chemo-radiotherapy (bulkyN2,or initial multistation N2, high initial SUV max, non responder on CT, persistent multistation N2…)
