13 Patterns of Failure After Trimodality Therapy The most common sites of failure were: the ipsilateral hemithorax (35%) abdomen (26%) Isolated distant failure were uncommon Future strategies should investigate methods of enhancing local control Baldini Ann Thorac Surg 63:334-8, 1997 Potential Sources of Local Recurrence Free intrathoracic tumor cells shed from the pleural surface prior to surgery Disseminated tumor cells during surgical manipulation, spillage Residual tumor at resection margins 13
