Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), two-thirds of which present with metastatic disease, significantly burdens the healthcare system. It has been established that surgical curative intent can be attempted on patients with single oligometastatic disease (M1b), which has a favorable outcome, especially when there is no mediastinal involvement. The AEGEAN trial suggested that patients with stages II to IIIB resectable NSCLC be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery, followed by adjuvant durvalumab, which significantly extends event-free survival. Our cases explore the possible role of neoadjuvant approach in select NSCLC patients described below who underwent curative surgery.
