| Summary: | Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China and ranks the first of cancer-related death. The major etiological agent of lung cancer is an industry-made and promoted addictive product, so lung cancer is considered to be a unique disease in all cancers. Effective policies for public health are required to prevent the smoking initiation so as to reduce the mortality of lung cancer, so Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has introduced a series of measures to monitor the tobacco products. As to patients with strong suspicion of lung cancer in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, a preoperative biopsy is needed and intra-operative diagnosis is necessary before pneumonectomy, bilobectomy or lobectomy if the preoperative tissue diagnosis is not obtained. However, lung cancer still cannot be easily diagnosed and cured, so the annual improvement and update of new therapeutic protocols and the development of new agents is of great significance. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 80% of all lung cancer, and above 75% NSCLC patients are in middle-advanced stage when diagnosed, so they have lost the optimal therapeutic opportunity and the 5-year survival rate is relatively low. Therefore, this study mainly interpreted the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines on the general therapies on NSCLC, hoping to provide references for the treatment of NSCLC patients and prolong their long-term survival.
