Clinical stage II non‐small cell lung cancer treated with radiation therapy alone:The significance of clinically staged ipsilateral hilar adenopathy (N1 disease)

Background. The prognosis of patients with clinically staged hilar nodal involvement (Stage N1) or clinical Stage II non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, Stage T1‐2N1M0) treated with radiation therapy (RT) alone is not well established.
