Improved Survival with Increased Time-To-Radiation (TTR) and Sequential Chemotherapy After Surgery for pN2 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Currently, the ideal timing for post-operative radiotherapy (PORT) and chemotherapy is unknown in resected lung cancer. Using the National Cancer Database (NCDB), we reviewed 1,629 patients with resected pN2 NSCLC with margin-negative disease. We found that longer time-to-radiation (≥8 weeks) was associated with better survival. Also, sequential chemotherapy was associated with better survival compared to concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
