    "abstract": "Surgical expertise is crucial in determining resectability. Due to differences in surgical expertise, cooperation with other surgical departments, and technical equipment available, a differentiation between \"standard resectability\" and \"resectability with advanced technical requirements\" can introduce a clear decision algorithm for interdisciplinary tumorboards. The current 2024 EORTC survey highlights areas with a lack of consensus on surgical indications in stage III NSCLC. T4 NSCLC with involvement of adjacent structures should be managed in high-volume, experienced centers following MDT discussion. Future research should focus on refining selection criteria for surgery and optimize treatment strategies in patients with locally advanced NSCLC.",
