Improving outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer; population analysis of radical radiotherapy.

CONCLUSION: The utilisation of radical RT has a significant impact on NSCLC population survival. Improvement in survival of NSCLC population can be achieved by offering radical RT to a larger proportion of patients while avoiding excessive use. Geographical variation in RT utilisation provides indirect evidence of survival benefit of radical radiotherapy. PMID: 30392781 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
