abstract: Small cell lung cancer remains a nonsurgical disease with the majority (80%) of cases presenting in higher stages. The primary treatment modalities for small cell lung cancer are radiation therapy and systemic chemotherapy, often administered concomitantly. This article focuses on the staging and surgical management of non-small-cell lung cancer.
