Definitive Radiation for Stage I lung cancer in a screened population: Results from the I-ELCAP

This study examines the characteristics and outcomes of patients with clinical stage I NSCLC identified by CT screening treated with definitive radiotherapy versus surgical resection. Very few screened patients are treated with radiation. Despite worse baseline characteristics in the radiation group, there was no significant difference in lung cancer specific survival when compared with patients treated with surgery.
