The impact of order with radiation therapy in stage IIIA pathologic N2 NSCLC patients: a population-based study.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to investigate the optimal order of radiation therapy in patients affected by stage IIIA pathologic N2 (IIIA/N2) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to identify its potential risk factors. METHODS:17,654 (8786 men and 8868 women) diagnosed with NSCLC stage IIIA-N2 from 2004 to 2015 patients were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Among the relevant clinical parameters, we evaluated overall survival (OS), lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and other variables such as age, sex and tumor size in patients who were treated with different combinations of surgery and radiotherapy strategies. RESULTS:We discovered that surgery benefit in younger IIIA/N2 NSCLC patients (age???75), and compared with surgery only, preoperative radiotherapy significantly improved the survival rate most (p??75?years old, who underwent postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) had the highest survival rate (p?
