Abstract
Key Points: Most patients (82%) present with locally advanced disease.Most patients (90%) have a smoking history, over one third have poor PS and all have co‐morbidities (58% single, 42% multiple).7% of patients were unsuitable for investigations to obtain a histological diagnosis, nearly half of patients were unsuitable for anti‐cancer treatment.In those treated radically, the pattern of treatment failure is loco‐regional.Multi‐modality treatment with surgery and RT appears to confer a survival advantage in patients with stage 4a/b disease.
