Popis: OBJECTIVES: Occult primary non-small cell lung cancer (OP-NSCLC) involving mediastinal lymph nodes without an identifiable primary tumor is a rare presentation, with little known about how outcomes compare to typical Stage III NSCLC. We reviewed our experience treating OP-SCLC with definitive radiotherapy and compared outcomes to a contemporary cohort of stage III NSCLC patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 605 patients with stage III NSCLC staged with PET-CT and treated with definitive radiotherapy between 1998 and 2013. Overall survival, intrathoracic control, and freedom from distant metastasis were computed using Kaplan-Meier method and logrank comparison. Cox hazard ratios were used to perform univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients were identified with OP-NSCLC (3.5%). Patients with OP-NSCLC, as compared to known primary NSCLC, had significantly better 5-year rates of intrathoracic control (83.5% vs. 24.2%, P
