BACKGROUND: Induction chemoradiotherapy plus surgery remains an option to study in IIIA(N2) and selected IIIB NSCLC. Here we report ten-year long-term survival of a prospective multicenter German-French phase-II trial with trimodality. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Mediastinoscopically proven IIIA(N2)/selected IIIB NSCLC received three cycles cisplatin (50 mg/m(2) day 1+8) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m(2)d1) qd 22. Concurrent CTx/RTx followed: 45 Gy (1.5 Gy bid) with cisplatin 50 mg/m(2) day 2+9 and etoposide 100 mg/m(2) d 4-6. Surgery was planned three to five weeks after RTx. If evaluated inoperable/irresectable at the end of RTx, definitive RTx-boost (20 Gy; 2 Gy qd) followed. Here we report 10-year-LTS for this cohort. RESULTS: All 64 patients were accrued 3/99 to 2/02. Patients characteristics: IIIA(N2)/IIIB 25/39; m/f 48/16; adeno/squamous/large-cell/adenosquamous/NOS 15/26/18/3/2; age: median 52.5 (range 33-69). 36 operated: R0 32/36 (89%); pCR 16/36 (44%). 10-year-LTS%; all 26.0; IIIA(N2) 37.1; IIIB 17.9; relevant prognostic factors (exploratory): pretreatment - histopathology (squamous/adeno) - age (<50/≥50) - Charlson-CI: 1/>1 - BMI (≥25/<25) - pack years smoking (≥10/<10); treatment-dependent - R0/no-R0. CONCLUSIONS: This regimen achieves substantial LTS. Interestingly, adenocarcinomas, older patients, unfavorable comorbidity scores, higher BMI and light smokers demonstrate poor long-term outcome even with aggressive trimodality. This dataset defines the rationale for our ongoing randomized trial with surgery after induction therapy in IIIA(N2)/selected IIIB (ESPATÜ).
