Salvage surgery after definitive chemoradiotherapy through VATS for an initial unresectable locally advanced lung cancer: an alternative consolidative modality to radiotherapy?
Hsuan-Hsuan YuYi-Wei ChenYi-Chen YehChien-Sheng HuangChao-Hua ChiuPublished in: Surgical case reports (2021)
Salvage lung resection performed long after high-dose radiation therapy of dCRT is technically feasible through VATS approach in a patient with initially inoperable cT4N2M0 stage IIIB NSCLC, and can be an alternative consolidative treatment for locally advanced NSCLC.
