      Background:
      Pathological staging (pTNM) after lung resection provides the most reliable data for staging non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and predicting long-term survival. However, the survival rate of patients who undergo direct surgical treatment (pTNM) may differ from those who undergo lung resection after induction treatment due to locally advanced lung cancer (ypTNM). In this study we aim to compare the survival rate of pTNM versus ypTNM.

      Method:
      In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the prospectively recorded data of the patients undergoing surgery (segmentectomy or more) for NSCLC between 2006 and 2016. The patients were staged according to the 8th edition of TNM staging and divided into two groups. Group 1: patients who underwent direct surgical resection (n:450), Group 2: patients who received induction treatment before surgical resection for locally advanced NSCLC (n:345). We compared the survival rates and additional factors that affected the survival rates.

      Result:
      Postoperative histopathological investigation revealed ypT0N0 in 66 patients (complete response, group 2), stage 1 in 310 patients (group 1 n=211, group 2 n= 99) stage 2 in 223 patients (group 1 n=133, group 2 n= 90), stage 3 in 177 patients (group 1 n=100, group 2 n= 77), stage 4 in 19 patients (group 1 n=6, group 2 n= 13). Five year survival rate in all patients was 59,4% (group 1= 64,6%, group 2= 52,7%, p=0,001). Five year survival rate was 69,7% for complete response group. For patients with stage 1 disease survival rates were 81,9% for group 1 and 63,5% for group 2 (p=0,001). Patients with stage 2 had 5 year survival rates of 55,9% for group 1 and 45,9% for group 2 (p=0,11). Patients staged 3 and 4 had 5 year survival rates of 44,8% for group 1 and 34,4% for group 2 (p=0,10).

      Conclusion:
      This study revealed that survival rates varied between the patients who underwent direct surgery (pTNM) and the patients who underwent induction treatment before lung resection for locally advanced NSCLC. We recommend that the IASLC should examine the ypTNM stage in more detail in order to achieve more accurate results.
