[Adjuvant treatments of non-small cell lung cancer].
If surgery remains the cornerstone for the curative treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, failures are common especially for stage III disease and adjuvant treatment (chemotherapy or radiotherapy) may be justified. After the two meta-analyses, new trials have showed a moderate but significant benefit from cisplatin based chemotherapy. The role of radiotherapy is still controversial but from some clinical observations, a new trial using the modern radiation technology should address the question.
