The treatment volume included the entire width of the mediastinum, homolalcral hili and the region of residual cancer. The tumor dose was mostly around 5000-5500 cGy. The overall 1-, 3-, and 5- year survival rates were 71.20%, 37.28% and 28.89% respectively. The 5- year survival rates for potients with involvement of resection margins and regional nodes were 28.57% and 20.00% respectively, and were compared with 40.00% for patients without nodes metastases.
