Scientific titleRandomised trial of surgical resection with or without pre-operative chemotherapy in patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of any stage
Study objectivesTo 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 investigator’s opinion following the WHO (1979) criteria, and clinician's assessment of the adverse effects of chemotherapy.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Intervention1. One group receives surgical resection with pre-operative chemotherapy.
2. The other group receives surgical resection alone.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureSurvival, quality of life, pre-randomisation clinical and post-surgery pathological staging, resectability rates, extent of surgery, time to and site of relapse
Secondary outcome measures1. 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
