Faculty Discussion & Perspectives:
Treatment Options & Considerations for rNSLSC
Lung Cancer Screening Saves Lives: Early detection through national or regional
LCS programmes (such as those offered by NHS in the UK or similar programmes in
other European countries) helps identify NSCLC at earlier, more treatable stages.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration: A multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists,
thoracic surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and pulmonologists is critical for
determining the optimal treatment approach.
Biomarker Testing: PD-L1 testing and molecular profiling are crucial to guide therapy
and ensure that patients receive the most effective treatment based on tumour
characteristics. This aligns with the European guidelines for managing NSCLC.
Immunotherapy Benefits: Evidence from clinical trials supports the use of
immunotherapy to improve outcomes in resectable NSCLC.
