The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of cancer treatment on the brain. Some cancer patients report changes in their memory or thinking after treatment. These changes could be a result of changes in brain structure, such as a change in size or thickness of different parts of the brain. The investigators will look to see if these changes in brain structure happen through the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators will do this by looking at the brain structure of lung cancer patients who have surgery and chemotherapy versus those who have surgery only.

longitudinal structural changes in the brain
Using MRI in patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in either the induction chemotherapy exposed or surgery-only group in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or bilateral hippocampus
Time frame: 1 month following completion of a 6 month course of induction chemotherapy or 7 months following surgery
