Se presentra el análisis retrospectivo de 68 pacientes con cáncer de pulmón estadio-III UICC, no microcítico, localmente avanzado. Todos los pacientes fueron someti dos a resección quirúrgica del tumor con intento curativo. Cuatro pacientes fueron excluidos por mortalidad posto peratoria. De los 64 pacientes evaluables, 33 recibieron irradiación postoperatoria (C + RT) y 31 siguieron con troles periódicos (C). La supervivencia actuarial a 3 años, fue de 41% (C + RT) vs 32% (C). Los pacientes con afectación ganglionar mediastínica (N2), presentaron una supervivencia a 3 anos de 49% (C + RT) vs 17% (C). Se concluye que la irradiación postoperatoria es eficaz en aquellos pacientes con cáncer de pulmón estadio-III con afectación ganglionar mediastínica.

We present a retrospective analysis of 68 patients with UICC stage III, non-small cell lung carcinoma, locally advanced. All patients were submitted to tumor resection with curative design. Four patients were excluded be-cause of postoperative mortality. From the 64 evaluable patients, 33 received postoperative irradiation (C + RT) and 31 followed periodic control (C). The 3 year actuarial survival was 41% (C + RT) vs 32% (C). Patients with mediastinal node involvement (N2), presented a 3 year survival of 49% (C + RT) vs 17% (C). We can conclude that postoperative irradiation is an effective treatment in patients with stage III lung cancer with mediastinal node involvement.
