A new expert consensus on diagnosis, staging, and therapy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients has been released. The experts recommend CT and PET imaging as a necessary part of the diagnosis and staging phase. Recommendations for chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and adjuvant systemic therapy before and after lung resection are also explained in this report. Overall, treatment paradigms have shifted significantly over the past few years and surgeons must be knowledgeable about different treatment options.
