Review
Pancoast's syndrome is produced by an apical lung tumor, with a local extensión to inferior brachial plexus, paravertebral sympathetic chain, vertebral bodies and first, second and third ribs. Its major cause is the non-small cell lung cancer, and this syndrome may produce shoulder pain and Horner's syndrome. The best diagnostic method is transthoracic needle aspiration, because of its peripheral location. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by complete surgical excision is the preferred approach to these tumors.

Review
Preoperative chemoradiotherapy with carboplatin (AUC 1.5), paclitaxel (40 mg/m2), and concurrent extracorporeal radiation (40 Gy) was used to treat a Pancoast tumor (clinical T3N0M0), without causing adverse events. Then left upper lobectomy was performed along with mediastinal lymph node dissection plus resection of the chest wall and Th1 nerve root. Histological examination revealed a pathological complete response. This multimodal regimen was feasible and achieved a good response, so it seems worthwhile to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the therapy in a cohort study.

A case of Pancoast tumor presenting as cervical radiculopathy is reported, including the clinical, EMG, and radiologic findings. A 64-year-old man with a two-month history of left shoulder pain and left arm numbness at the medial aspect of the hand and forearm presented for electrodiagnostic examination, and a severe C8 radiculopathy was documented. Subsequent radiologic evaluation (myelogram and routine chest x-ray) yielded the diagnosis of left apical lung tumor (Pancoast tumor), eroding through the C7 and T1 pedicles and T1 vertebral body, with cut-off of the left C8 nerve root. Pancoast tumor has long been implicated as a cause of brachial plexopathy. The EMG presentation of isolated cervical radiculopathy, however, has not been previously reported, despite the tumor's known tendency for local invasion which may include the nerve roots and even the spinal canal in its advanced stages. This patient's normal sensory studies argue against any significant coexisting lower brachial plexopathy. The possibility of Pancoast lesion should be considered not only in the presence of brachial plexopathy, but also when C8 or T1 radiculopathy is found.
