Sixty patients with proven lung cancer were retrospectively studied to determine whether postoperative radiation therapy improves survival. Patterns of treatment failure and 5 year survival were assessed according to extent of tumor spread, histology, type of operation, positive resection margin and radiation dose. Of the 60 patients, excluding S patients who received incomplete treatment or poor pulmonary function,55 patients received postoperative radiation therapy following curative resection. The overall survival at 5 years was $39\%$. The hilar and mediastinal lymph node involvement had an influence on survival. The authors recommend that patients with resection. lung cancer involving the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes may require postoperative radiotherapy to reduce the local recurrence and improve survival.
