Abstract: Objective Propensity score matchingPSM was used to evaluate the effect of postoperative radiotherapy in patients with stage A/N2 non-small cell lung carcinomaNSCLC. Methods A total of 1 832 patients with stage A/N2 NSCLC undergoing surgical resection combined with adjuvant chemotherapy were collected from the SEER database. Baseline characteristics of the two groups were compared by χ2  test overall survivalOS and lung cancer-specific survivalLCSS of the two groups were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curve and prognostic factors were analyzed by COX regression model. Results Among the 1 832 patients 906 patients received postoperative radiotherapyincluded in the postoperative radiotherapy group and 926 patients did not receive postoperative radiotherapyincluded in the control group. There was no statistical significance in OS and LCSS between the two groups after PSMP>0.05. Univariate COX regression analysis showed that age<65 years old female clinical stage -Ⅱ, tumor diameter3 cm were protective factors for survival and prognosisHR<1 P<0.05. Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that age<65 years old number of lymph node dissection 4 could better predict OS and LCSSHR<1,P<0.05. In the postoperative radiotherapy subgroup patients with squamous cell carcinoma and age <65 years had worse LCSS. Conclusion The addition of postoperative radiotherapy did not improve the prognosis of stageA/N2 NSCLC patients treated with surgical resection combined with adjuvant chemotherapy.
