Stage III
- The algorithms for the treatment of stage III non small cell carcinoma of the lung are based on the 2014 NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer guidelines.[1]
Stage IIIA: T3, N1
Perform a pretreatment evaluation
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Where is the tumor located? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Superior suculus tumor | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
T3 (Invasion to adjacent structures), N0 | Preferred option: Surgery + pathological determination of microscopic residual tumor | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy | Are margins from the surgical piece positive or negative for residual tumor? | Perform surgery + pathological determination of residual tumor | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy | Negative (R0) | Positive: Is the residual tumor microscopic (R1) or macroscopic (R2) | Are margins from the surgical piece positive or negative for residual tumor? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Adjuvant Chemotherapy | Microscopic (R1) | Macroscopic (R2) | Negative (R0) | Positive (R1-2) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tumor resection + adjuvant chemotherapy OR chemotherapy + radiation therapy, followed or not by Chemotherapy | Tumor resection + adjuvant Chemotherapy OR chemotherapy + radiation therapy | Observation | Tumor resection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IIIA: T4, N0-1
Perform a pretreatment evaluation
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Is the tumor resectable? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Where is the tumor located? | Definitive chemotherapy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Superior suculus | Proximal airway OR Chest wall OR Mediastinum | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Initiate neoadjuvant chemotherapy + radiation therapy | Preferred option: Surgery + pathological determination of microscopic residual tumor | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Perform a surgical evaluation: Is the tumor resectable? | Are margins from the surgical piece positive or negative for residual tumor? | Perform surgery + pathological determination of residual tumor | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | Negative (R0) | Positive: Is the residual tumor microscopic (R1) or macroscopic (R2) | Are margins from the surgical piece positive or negative for residual tumor? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tumor extraction + adjuvant Chemotherapy | Definitive chemotherapy + radiation therapy | Adjuvant Chemotherapy | Microscopic (R1) | Macroscopic (R2) | Negative (R0) | Positive (R1-2) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tumor resection + adjuvant Chemotherapy OR chemotherapy + radiation therapy, followed or not by Chemotherapy | Tumor resection + adjuvant Chemotherapy OR chemotherapy + radiation therapy | Observation | Tumor resection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stage IIIB
Perform a pretreatment evaluation
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Is the tumor T1-3 or is it T4? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
T1-3, N3 | T4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Does the infiltration to lymph nodes meet the criteria for N3 or are there findings suggestive of metastatic disease? | Is the infiltration to the mediastinal lymph nodes contralateral or are there findings suggestive of metastatic disease? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Metastatic disease | Findings suggestive of N3 | See treatment | Metastatic disease | Positive contralateral mediastinal node infiltration | Does the tumor infiltrated the ipsilateral mediastinal lymph nodes? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
