Abstract
Combined chemoradiotherapy (CTRT) is intended to reduce the risk of local regional recurrence and distant relapse in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sequential CTRT allows full doses of each modality while avoiding the additive toxicity that occurs with concurrent therapy. This review will encompass studies in the three main settings where sequential CTRT has been applied in early stage NSCLC: as adjuvant therapy after resection, as neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery followed by radiotherapy, and in unresectable stage III disease.
