Condition: NSCLC, Non Small Cell Lung Cancer · Sponsor: Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
\*Study Overview This study is investigating a surgical approach for patients with a serious type of lung cancer known as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly those in an advanced stage where cancer has spread to both sides of the chest (referred to as N3 stage). In these patients, the cancer has spread to contralateral lymph nodes, which are lymph nodes located on the opposite side of the chest. This spread makes the cancer harder to treat and lowers the chance of survival. The study is focusing on whether removing the primary lung tumor along with lymph nodes from both sides of the chest-a surgery called bilateral lymph node dissection-can improve the chances of survival and reduce the risk of cancer returning. \*Why This Study Is Important Stage N3 NSCLC (where cancer has spread to both sides of the chest) is hard to treat and has a poor prognosis. Current treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, but the long-term survival rates are still low. This study will evaluate whether surgery alone (with the tumor and lymph nodes removed) can improve survival in these patients compared to other treatment options. The goal is to find the best way to treat patients with N3 stage NSCLC by studying the risks and benefits of this combined surgical approach. * What the Study Is Testing 1. Effectiveness of surgery for N3 stage patients: Does removing both the primary tumor and lymph nodes from both sides of the chest improve survival rates? 2. Safety …
