چکیده
Ms. P., a 62-year-old nonsmoker, was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma in April 2009. At the time of diagnosis, she underwent a left upper lobectomy for a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.

Following her lobectomy, Ms. P. received four cycles of cisplatin/vinorelbine chemotherapy and went on to receive radiation therapy to the mediastinum.
