Abstract		Background. modern treatment of non-small cell lung cancer stage IIIa is presented: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and combinations of them: surgery and postoperative radiotherapy, surgery and postoperative chemotherapy, preoperative (neoadjuvant and perioperative) chemotherapy and surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, other methods as well. Two current international clinical trials (I.A.L.T. and EORTC-LCCG) that we cooperate, are mentioned. Conclusions. Continous incidence increase of lung cancer and limited posibility of modern chemotherapy, mostly due to unarranged financing of expensive drugs, is the most important present problem in Slovenia.
Summary		Izhodišča. Prikazano je sodobno zdravljenje stadija IIIa nedrobnoceličnega pljučnega raka: operacija, obsevanje, kemoterapija ter različne kombinacije teh načinov zdravljenja: operacija in pooperativno obsevanje, operacija in pooperativna kemoterapija, predoperativna (neoadjuvantna i perioperativna) kemoterapija in operacija, obsevanje in kemoterapija ter drugi načini zdravljenja. Omenjeni sta dve potekajoči mednarodni študiji (L.A.L.T. in EORTC-LCCG), v katerih sodelujemo tudi mi. Zaključki. Sedanja situacija v Sloveniji je problematična zaradi stalnega porasta incidence raka in omejenih možnosti za uporabo sodobne kemoterapije predvsem zaradi neurejenega načina financiranja dragih citostatikov.
