NCCN Guidelines for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Updated to Incorporate Maintenance Therapy
Date:12/9/2009

3 designation.

The international staging system for lung cancer was recently revised and has been incorporated into the updated NCCN Guidelines. Staging provides the basis for evaluating a patient's prognosis and is a valuable aid in the treatment selection of patients with lung cancer. The revised system more accurately reflects a patient's prognosis and current practice. The new staging will affect one out of every six lung cancer patients and takes effect January 1, 2010.

The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology(TM) are developed and updated through an evidence-based process with explicit review of the scientific evidence integrated with expert judgment by multidisciplinary panels of physicians from NCCN Member Institutions. The most recent version of this and all the NCCN Guidelines are available free of charge at NCCN.org.
