Should the disease be localized to the chest without any nodules seen, he is at best a locally advanced stage 3b non small cell carcinoma. Recommendations at that point would be for combined modality therapy, perhaps on the Swog-Por-risk protocol.

GROUP B STREP IN DIAGNOSIS
I'm confused on group B strep in a diagnosis. My research tells me that group B and group beta strep are interchangeable; however, on a recent audit I was counted off because I typed group beta Streptococcus in the diagnosis. Was corrected that it should be: group B Streptococcus. Anybody know which is correct? Thank you!
