    Background:
    Surgical resection after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy for patients with stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carries high postoperative complications. Careful selection of candidate for surgery should be based on analysis of proven risk factors.
    
    Methods:
    We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients with clinical stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgical resection after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy from 1997 to 2013. Preoperative, perioperative, and outcome variables which related to the morbidity and mortality were assessed. Univariate and multivariate analysis was done to identify predictors of postoperative morbidity and mortality.
    
    Results:
    During the study period, 574 patients underwent major pulmonary resection after induction therapy. The median time interval between the end of induction therapy and surgery was 33 days (range, 5-79 days). Thirty-day and ninety-day postoperative mortality were 1.4% (8 patients), and 7.1% (41 patients), respectively. The most common cause of In-hospital mortality was acute respiratory distress syndrome (n=6, 4.5%). Morbidity rate was 34.7 % (199 patients). Median hospital stay was 8 days (interquartile range, 7-11 days). Significant predictors of morbidity by multivariable analysis included patient age more than 70 years (odds ratio- 1.82;p=0.040), low body mass index <18.5 (odds ratio - 2.62;p=0.022), and pneumonectomy (odds ratio – 1.8;p=0.026). Significant predictors of mortality by multivariable analysis included patient age more than 70 years (odds ratio – 1.82; p=0.022), and pneumonectomy (odds ratio – 3.256; p=0.003). Ninety-day mortality was 15.8 % (9/57) in patient age more than 70 years, and 17.8 % (13/73) in patients who underwent pneumonectomy.
    
    Conclusion:
    Surgical outcomes after neoadjuvant CCRT for patients who are older than 70 year or undergo pneumonectomy are relatively poor. For those patients, there should be extra concern about the respiratory complications. And for the elderly patients with limited pulmonary reserves, other possible alternative treatment options, such as definitive CCRT rather than surgery should be considered.
