Overview

Therapies for non-small cell lung cancer stage II include surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. If the tumor is resectable, the preferred treatment for stage II non small cell lung cancer, includes: surgical resection with lymph node dissection and pathological evaluation. If evidence of lymph node extension of the disease is present adjutant chemotherapy should be administered.

Medical Therapy for Stage II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Stage IIA

Shown below is the algorithm on the treatment of the stage IIA non-small cell lung cancer based on the 2014 NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer guidelines.[1]

 
 
  • T1a-b, 2a, N1
  • T2b, N0
  • T3 Tumor larger than 7 cm (not invasive)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Perform a pretreatment evaluation
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Does the pathological evaluation showed positive disease in the mediastinal lymph nodes?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes
 
No

Is the tumor operable?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes
 
 
 
No
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Surgical resection + lymph node dissection
 
 
 
Does the patient presents metastasis to ipsilateral peribronchial and/or hiliar nodes and intrapulmonar nodes (N1)?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If lymph node extension is detected initiate neoadjuvantchemotherapy + radiation therapy
 
Yes
 
No
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
chemotherapy + radiation therapy
 
radiation therapy with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy
Adjuvant Chemotherapy should be added for high-risk stages
 


Stage IIB

Shown below is the algorithm on the treatment of the stage IIB non-small cell lung cancer based on the 2014 NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer guidelines.[1]

 
 
 
 
 
 
Perform a pretreatment evaluation
