Although surgery is the best curative approach for resectable NSCLC, long-term survival for patients with operable disease remains poor. More than half of patients who initially present with stage I to IIIA disease experience relapse of metastatic ...

Although radical resection is the cornerstone of treatment in adequately staged patients, its outcome is not always curative, as some patients might be functionally inoperable, refuse surgery, hav...
