Lobectomy and Mediastinal Radiochemotherapy in Unresectable Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Responding to Induction Chemotherapy

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Interventions
Procedure: Lobectomy followed by concomitant mediastinal chemoradiotherapy
Registration Number
NCT00661011
Lead Sponsor
European Lung Cancer Working Party
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if radical radiochemotherapy on the mediastinum after lobectomy can be associated with significant long term survival in patients with initially unresectable stage III NSCLC responding to induction chemotherapy but in which the residual disease is too large to be treated by radiotherapy.
