Abstract

Pulmonary resection after high dose (>/=60Gy) neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is safe. Lobectomy can be safely performed and bronchopleural fistula prevented. Sixty Gy allows for maximal medical therapy in case resection is not offered. Since complete response rates may be higher than when 45Gy is used and since surgery is safe, its use deserves further investigation.
