Surgical Management of Stage III (N2) Lung Cancer

Video

This video reviews the role of surgery in patients with stage III (N2) non–small-cell lung cancer, highlighting some of the challenges in studying these patients and the need for multidisciplinary patient evaluations.

In this video, Linda Martin, MD, MPH, of the University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, reviews the role of surgery in patients with stage III (N2) non–small-cell lung cancer, highlighting some of the challenges in studying these patients and the need for multidisciplinary patient evaluations to best determine appropriate treatment strategies. 

Martin gave a presentation on this topic earlier this year at the 2017 Multidisciplinary Thoracic Cancers Symposium.
