Abstract
We present a 41-year-old female smoker with concurrent invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast and stage IIIA (T4N0M0) adenocarcinoma of the left lung requiring neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by left pneumonectomy. We use this report as an educational work to show how multidisciplinary clinical decisions can be made to give way to successful treatment of a highly complex lung adenocarcinoma. Specifically, we show curative radical treatment of T4 disease and successful radical intervention of radiation-induced cardiac complications to achieve a comprehensive and curative treatment.
