Chemotherapy Choice: Cisplatin and Docetaxel
Cisplatin was used successfully in INT 0139 Choice of cisplatin allows delivery of same full doses of cisplatin without or with RT Cisplatin/docetaxel as induction chemotherapy has been reported as active and safe in the SAKK study Favorable preliminary toxicity data in combination with RT are available from the pilot SWOG 0022 trial

Swiss SAKK Trial: Results
Toxicity: 0 Grade 4; 48% Grade 3 Clinical response to induction chemotherapy: 8% CR, 58% PR, 10% PD Resectability rate: 87% (48% R0 resection) pCR 19% (>95% necrosis and fibrosis) of resected MST 27.6 months & 3-yr OS rate (estimated): 34%

Rationale for Maintenance Chemotherapy
Need for systemic chemotherapy doses in patients at high risk of relapse Supporting evidence: excellent MST (26.0 mo) in SWOG 9504 phase II trial of concurrent CDDP/VP-16 with XRT followed by docetaxel in locally advanced NSCLC large adjuvant chemotherapy trials presented at ASCO 2003/2004 showing benefit to postoperative chemotherapy IALT Phase III Trial CALGB 9633 Japanese Phase III trial NCI C (BR 10
