Evaluation of Failure Patterns Using Trimodality in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Figures

Figure 1. Overall survival as a function of treatment group. Comparison of OS rates in neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgical resection (circles) versus concurrent chemoradiation alone (triangles).

Figure 2. Rates of disease recurrence in both treatment groups. Group 1 had an overall recurrence rate of 61.8% (47 of 76) with the majority of recurrence occuring distantly without brain involvement. Group 2 showed a recurrence rate of 44.4% (8 of 18) with the majority occuring distantly in the brain. These recurrences are divided accordingly above.
