JO - Thoracic cancer VL - 16 IS - 22 SN - 1759-7706 CY - Hoboken, NJ [u.a.] PB - Wiley-Blackwell M1 - DKFZ-2025-02569 SP - e70183 PY - 2025 AB - To analyze the association of pathologic-complete-response (PCR) and survival after neoadjuvant concurrent chemo-radiotherapy, we evaluated a large cohort of patients with potentially resectable stage IIIA-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with a trimodality approach.Consecutive patients underwent neoadjuvant induction chemotherapy, followed by concurrent chemo-radiotherapy and surgery. Patients received established imaging, and diagnostics. Leave-one-out cross-validation was employed to identify the most effective prognostic classifier.Altogether, 403 patients treated between 06/2000 and 01/2020 were included. Median follow-up was 111 months (IQR: 71-127 months).
