This is my VIP patient who got to see us and Hem-Onc at the same time and had a Squam on a CT-guided Bx.
She then had a PET scan which lit up on the mass and on a small (<1 cm) ipsilateral hilar lymph node.
She underwent a med which showed only reactive adenopathy. She had a lobectomy 2 days ago with a T2 squam with negative margins and negative nodes.
At your institution, would you offer adjuvant chemo, xRt, both or neither at this point?

Adjuvant chemo should be at least considerd for NSCLC of stage 1b or higher after curative resection.
Was the sample size adequate to exclude clinically meaningful treatment effect? I would say this is still an open question because there is a good chance that that was a type 2 error. 5yr survival after resection of 1b NSCLC still less than what I hope.
