Adjuvant Therapy in Patients With Completely Resected Non-small-cell Lung Cancer: Current Status and Perspectives.

Patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer undergo surgery with curative intent.

Adjuvant chemotherapy has been established and increases the 5-year survival rate. Here, we discuss systemic treatment strategies for further improving outcome of patients with completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer.
