โฆ Synopsis
The only effective therapy for non-small-cell lung cancers has been surgical resection. In the present study a patient with unresectable adenocarcinoma of the lung was treated by chemoimmunotherapy and surgery, and has been doing well for 19 months following surgery. The case is presented as an example of treatment of advanced lung cancer by combined modality approach.
