Preoperative radiation may improve the outcomes of resectable IIIA/N2 non‐small‐cell lung cancer patients: A propensity score matching‐based analysis from surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database

Abstract Background There are several therapeutic strategies for the management of resectable stage IIIA/N2 non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the role of radiotherapy as a preoperative adjuvant therapy is unclear. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of stage IIIA/N2 NSCL...
