Egyéb

• Participant has willingness and ability to provided informed consent for participation

• Tumor is equal to or greater than 1.0cm from the trachea, esophagus, brachial plexus, 1st bifurcation of the proximal bronchial tree, or spinal cord (measured on the most recent CT images available, and may include PET/CT images).
• Mandatory FDG-PET/CT within 60 days of the randomization date (note: FDG-PET/CT may need to be repeated prior to treatment if outside of this requirement)
• Mandatory pathological assessment of any lymph nodes >10mm with a SUV >2.5 seen on FDG- PET/CT
• Mandatory biopsy of any additional concerning lesions seen on FDG-PET/CT, to make better determination that the patient is not harboring metastatic disease or a secondary primary malignancy.
• Pre-operative FEV1 greater than or equal to 40% of predicted value and pre-operative DLCO greater than or equal to 40% of predicted value.
