Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment Regimens


Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment Regimens
Clinical Trials: The NCCN recommends cancer patient participation in clinical trials as the gold standard for treatment.
Cancer therapy selection, dosing, administration, and the management of related adverse events can be a complex process that should be handled by an experienced healthcare team. Clinicians must choose and verify treatment options based on the individual patient; drug dose modifications and supportive care interventions should be administered accordingly. The cancer treatment regimens below may include both U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved and unapproved indications/regimens. These regimens are only provided to supplement the latest treatment strategies. These Guidelines are a work in progress that may be refined as often as new significant data becomes available. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines® are a consensus statement of its authors regarding their views of currently accepted approaches to treatment. Any clinician seeking to apply or consult any NCCN Guidelines® is expected to use independent medical judgment in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine any patient’s care or treatment. The NCCN makes no warranties of any kind whatsoever regarding their content, use, or application and disclaims any responsibility for their application or use in any way.

Sequential chemotherapy/RT or RT alone is appropriate for frail patients unable to tolerate concurrent therapy. x Regimen can be used as preoperative/adjuvant chemotherapy/RT. y Regimen can used as definitive concurrent chemotherapy RT. z For eligible patients, durvalumab may be used after noted concurrent chemo/RT regimens. aa If using durvalumab, an additional 2 cycles of chemotherapy is not recommended, if patients have not received full-dose chemotherapy concurrent with RT. bb Durvalumab is not recommended for patients following definitive surgical resection.
