Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Therapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Therapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer HEMATOLOGY-ONCOLOGY CLINICS OF NORTH AMERICA Chuang, J. C., Liang, Y., Wakelee, H. A. 2017; 31 (1): 31-?

Abstract

The use of 4 cycles of cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy is now the standard of care for patients with resected stage II and IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy lacks the same level of data as adjuvant treatment, but meta-analyses of this approach support its use. Selection of patients who are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy remain elusive. Ongoing adjuvant trials are exploring biomarkers, molecularly targeted agents, postoperative radiation therapy, and immunotherapy.
