    Salvage surgery refers to operative resection of persistent or recurrent disease in patients initially treated with intention‐to‐cure nonoperative management. In non‐small‐cell lung cancer, salvage surgery may be effective in treating selected patients with locally progressive tumors, recurrent local or locoregional disease, or local complications after nonoperative therapy. Importantly, those patients who may be candidates for salvage surgery are evolving, in terms of disease stage as well as the types of attempted definitive therapy received.
