Abstract
Micro-Abstract The management of marginally operable stage IIIA non–small-cell lung cancer is controversial. We established a phased concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) protocol offering neoadjuvant CCRT followed by surgery or, for reassessed inoperable patients, maintenance chemotherapy and split-course CCRT boost. Survival of the patients receiving neoadjuvant CCRT and surgery was optimized. Survival of the reassessed inoperable patients receiving split-course CCRT was acceptable.
