Real-life long-term outcomes of upfront surgery in patients with resectable stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract

Treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving. When introducing novelties, real-life data on effectiveness of currently used treatment strategies are needed. The present study evaluated outcomes of stage I–IIIA NSCLC patients treated with upfront radical surgery in everyday clinical practice, between 2010–2017.
