Study information
Scientific title
Randomised trial of surgical resection with or without pre-operative chemotherapy in patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of any stage
Acronym
Study hypothesis
To compare survival following surgical resection with or without pre-operative chemotherapy.
Secondary aims are to compare:
1. QL throughout the survival period; all items on the SF-36 questionnaire will be used to assess physical, emotional and functional health status, with particular emphasis on items that reflect the impact of symptoms on activities
2. Pre-randomisation clinical and post-surgery pathological staging
3. Resectability rates
4. Extent of surgery
5. Time to and site of relapse
And chemotherapy group, to document response evaluated according to the subjective investigators opinion following the WHO (1979) criteria, and clinician's assessment of the adverse effects of chemotherapy.

Primary outcome measure
Survival, quality of life, pre-randomisation clinical and post-surgery pathological staging, resectability rates, extent of surgery, time to and site of relapse
Secondary outcome measures
1. QL assessed before randomisation at 6 and 12 months from randomisation, and then annually, using the SF-36 questionnaire. All items and subscales will be examined according to the SF-36 manual. Analysis will be based on comparisons between regimens at the designated time points and on change from baseline for each regimen
2.Pre-randomisation clinical and post-surgery pathological staging
3. Resectability rates
4. Extent of surgery
5. Time to and site of relapse
