Thoracic E12: PORT: Evidence, Selection, and Planning
from RadOnc Smart Review Hosted by Abass Conteh
Welcome back to Rad Onc Smart Review: Thoracic Oncology Edition. Episode 12 takes a selective, evidence-based approach to postoperative radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer. We reconstruct residual disease, margin status, nodal burden and geography, surgical quality, the preoperative disease map, competing systemic risk, cardiopulmonary reserve, and the target that would actually be treated. The episode explains why improved mediastinal control after complete resection does not automatically translate into a survival benefit, and how to weigh that local-control gain against heart, remaining-lung, esophageal, and spinal-cord exposure.
