Background:
- Stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents complex management challenges.
- Optimal treatment strategies require up-to-date, evidence-based guidance for clinicians.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop evidence-based recommendations for the clinical management of stage III NSCLC.
- To provide guidance on evaluation, staging, and treatment modalities for NSCLC.
Main Methods:
- A multidisciplinary Expert Panel conducted a systematic literature search (1990-2021).
- Included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials.
- Recommendations were formulated using available evidence and expert consensus.
Main Results:
- 127 relevant studies were identified to form the evidence base.
- Recommendations address diagnostic workup, surgical interventions, and neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapies.
- Guidance is provided for both resectable and unresectable stage III NSCLC.
Conclusions:
