title: [Treatment of N2-3 pulmonary carcinoma. Preoperative radio-chemotherapy].
abstract: Preoperative integrated neo-adjuvant radio-chemotherapy was performed in 8 patients suffering from NSCLC bronchial carcinoma at stages IIIA-IIIB (N3 mediastinal). After treatment, 7 patients underwent apparently radical pulmonary exeresis, whereas the patient with adenocarcinoma (T2 N2 M0) was not operated due to the recurrence of disease following supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. Preoperative radio-chemotherapy allows the sub-staging of the disease and the insertion of these patients into the operating programme.
