Özet
Purpose: Induction chemotherapy before radiotherapy, although inferior to concomitant chemoradiotherapy, is still used in clinical practice, and improves survival compared to radiotherapy alone in unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this setting, we assessed the predictors of benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radiotherapy.
