Just with the limited information, why not 60-66 Gy with chemo? I’ve actually worked with a thoracic surgeon that took people to surgery after 60 Gy, so another possible option if things respond.

60 Gy with concurrent chemo.

Resect if possible afterwards.

60 cis/etop. would make a hot subvolume if possible. Would try to get adjuvant immuno.

In my experience, dosing depends on the surgeon's commitment. Ones I work with go in to operate no matter what. Therefore, I usually stop at 50 Gy.

I am reading "advanced" as metastatic

Despite the interest of a certain political figure having an unresectable sulcus tumor, the fact of a certain individual having a diagnosis does not have relevance to this forum. Some information has been removed to keep the forum apolitical and a few posts have been deleted.

Further political discussion in this thread will result in warnings.

Otherwise, carry on the discussion of how to treat superior sulcus tumors.
