Pneumonectomy after induction RxOptimal treatment strategies for operable advanced stage lung cancer is still uncertain
In patients with locally advanced lung cancer, improved resectability has been seen after concurrent chemoradiotherapy

Challenges with pneumonectomy after induction therapy•Chemoradiation may reduce pulmonary function and can result in significant fibrosis around key hilar structures
•Induction therapy may increase patient susceptibility to pulmonary edema and impair ability of bronchial stumps to heal
•Known complications/morbidity associated with pneumonectomy after induction therapy include: ARDS, pulmonary edema, broncho-pleural fistula, arrhythmias, prolonged air leak, vocal cord paralysis, and empyema

• Overall survival not improved
• Improved OS for patients undergoing lobectomy when compared to no resection
• No survival benefit in patients undergoing pneumonectomy when compared to no resection

• Lymph node downstaging after induction chemoRT leads to improved survival• Not all pts had N2 nodes so lymph node downstage rate could not be assessed in
their study
• Trimodality approach should be done at high volume centers

• Restaging the mediastinum after induction therapy will allow the surgeon to prevent resection in patients with less survival benefit
• Methods to restage mediastinum include:• VATS• Redo mediastinoscopy• PET• EBUS

ConclusionsPneumonectomy after induction therapy is feasible and safe
• Careful patient selection, N2 disease status• Restage patients after neoadjuvant therapy• Should be performed by experienced surgeons at
high volume centers
