Preoperative
Chemotherapy for Lung Cancer Does Not Increase Surgical Morbidity
(Annals of Thoracic Surgery)
Abstract of a study reported in the April 2001 issue of the Annals
of Thoracic Surgery that found preoperative chemotherapy for NSCLC
did not significantly affect overall morbidity or mortality. Concludes
that the potential for enhanced survival in resectable NSCLC justifies
continued study of preoperative chemotherapy. [4/01]

Three-Pronged
Approach an Added Treatment Option for NSCLC Spread to Surrounding Lymph
Nodes (National Cancer Institute)
Reports on a study presented at the 2003 ASCO annual meeting that
found patients with NSCLC that has spread to surrounding lymph nodes who
were treated with a three-pronged approach using chemotherapy, radiation
and surgery lived longer than patients treated with just chemotherapy
and radiation. Notes that it remains unclear whether three-pronged treatment
extends patients' overall survival compared to the two-pronged approach.
