In general, prognosis of stage IV non-small cell lung cancer is poor, and treatment is mostly palliative. However, oligometastatic disease is currently recognized as a specific entity with a better prognosis. We report a patient where combined chemoradiotherapy and salvage surgery led to extraordinary long-term survival.
