The data showed that PRT plus CIRT with CT given at the same time was effective with manageable side...

Evaluating the predictors of early recurrence in patients with stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer after surgery.

Posted by Medivizor on Jan 20, 2022 in Lung cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study evaluated the predictors of early recurrence in patients with stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery. The data showed that early recurrence after surgery was associated with poor survival outcomes in patients with stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC. Smoking history, large tumor size, increased lymph node ratio, and...
