Surgery
When the chemotherapy treatment is completed, the patient's tumor response will be evaluated by a CT scan, pulmonary function test, and another PET scan between days 50 and 63 (during weeks 8 and 9). If there is no growth or spread of the cancer on any of these tests, patients will then proceed to have surgery by week 10 to remove the cancer.
