Our Goals for Today

Augment your knowledge of current recommendations for
and experiences with lung cancer screening across Europe
and the UK

Equip you with skills to evaluate, diagnose, and develop
appropriate treatment plans for patients with stage I-III
NSCLC

Enhance your ability to optimally integrate immunotherapy-
based strategies into treatment plans of patients with
resectable NSCLC

European Council updated its recommendation to include lung

— cancer screening (2022)':
——— + Low-dose computed tomography

— + Astepwise approach
— + Feasibility and effectiveness
= + High-risk individual: heavy smokers and ex-smokers who used to smoke

heavily, and other high-risk profiles

UK National Screening Committee's (UK NSC) announced

targeted lung cancer screening (2022)?:

+ Low-dose computed tomography

+ High-risk individual: people aged 55 to 74

+ Integrate smoking cessation service provision

+ Targeted Lung Health Checks (TLHC) programme provides a feasible and
effective starting point for implementation in England

However, in November 2022, following the

regarding LCS, two European Respiratory

Let’s Consider a Case

59-year-old male, 20 pack-year smoking history, invited for a lung health check at a CT mobile unit
5/2023: imaging revealed 7-mm LUL nodule, GGO without a solid component, put on surveillance CT

1/2024: CT shows nodule slightly increased in size, ground glass area had started to solidify, no
adenopathy

PET scan: modest FDG avidity
2/2024: LUL nodule now 9 mm

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.
