What’s best for stage III NSCLC? Local control w definitive radiation or an R1 surgical resection?

@GraceHaMD presents NCDB data at #AATS2026 showing a long-term survival benefit to surgery over XRT, even with +margins.

⬆️ survival for R1+ pts as systematic therapies improve

[Olga Ostrovetsky MD @olgaostrovetsky]

Honored to contribute to the discussion on surgical considerations following neoadjuvant therapy. As treatment paradigms evolve, so must our approach in the OR.

@maraantonoff on surgical resection in stage IV

@nchudgar on extending our criteria for surgical resectability, converting borderline resectable to resectable and study data from MDT-Bridge

[Gavitt Woodard @GavittWoodard]

Pneumonectomy for T4N0-2 tumors or a PACIFIC chemoXRT and immunotherapy regimen?

NCDB data presented by @GraceHaMD show survival benefit to pneumonectomy in propensity matched cohorts.

Best outcomes in women, left side disease, and w neoadjuvant treatment.

#STS2026

[Gavitt Woodard @GavittWoodard]

Interesting data from @GraceHaMD @MontefioreNYC on mutations and PD-L1 in black and Hispanic NSCLC pts, underrepresented in trials.

High rates of EGFR in Asian and Hispanic pts. EGFR mutations in black pts are often non-sensitizing and may explain differences in survival.

Even with generous leave policies, pregnant surgeons across countries report the same fears: being seen as weak, burdensome, or uncommitted. Surgery’s masculine norms persist.
