When would you include uninvolved nodal stations when treating patients with locally advanced NSCLC with definitive CRT?

You bring up a good point. Sometimes there are 'at risk' nodes in locally-advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC) that may not be FDG-avid and sit between two or more masses that are FDG-avid or perhaps are enlarged but not FDG-avid. Judgement does come into play when contouring targets. For background, RTOG 0515...

I agree with @Dr. First Last about including enlarged nodes, in the vicinity of G...
