Stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) encompasses a group of diseases with high heterogeneity. Such patients should actively receive comprehensive treatments. It is imperative for all stage Ⅲ NSCLC patients to receive consultation with a multiple disciplinary team, which allows the development of a proposal for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this consensus, stage Ⅲ NSCLC is divided into two types (operable and inoperable) according to different clinical conditions. Resectable NSCLC is further subdivided into two conditions (with or without driver genes). For each clinical scenario, this consensus emphasizes that the foundation of any medical decisions regarding the optimal diagnostic or therapy procedure is scientific evidence from clinical research. Finally, based on the level of evidence and strength of recommendations, this consensus provides recommendations for the management of stage Ⅲ NSCLC from six perspectives. The objective of this consensus is to help clinicians choose the best treatment and promote the standardization of stage Ⅲ NSCLC diagnosis and treatment in China.

Abstract

Stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) encompasses a group of diseases with high heterogeneity. Such patients should actively receive comprehensive treatments. It is imperative for all stage Ⅲ NSCLC patients to receive consultation with a multiple disciplinary team, which allows the development of a proposal for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this consensus, stage Ⅲ NSCLC is divided into two types (operable and inoperable) according to different clinical conditions. Resectable NSCLC is further subdivided into two conditions (with or without driver genes). For each clinical scenario, this consensus emphasizes that the foundation of any medical decisions regarding the optimal diagnostic or therapy procedure is scientific evidence from clinical research. Finally, based on the level of evidence and strength of recommendations, this consensus provides recommendations for the management of stage Ⅲ NSCLC from six perspectives.
