1.2.4 In EGFR Wild Type (WT) tumors, obtain EML4-ALK fusion test.  1.3 STAGING   1.3.1 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer    1.3.1.1 Obtain contrast enhanced CT scan of the chest and abdomen.    1.3.1.2 Obtain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain for stages IB-IV (preferred over contrast

enhanced CT scan).    1.3.1.3 Obtain total body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan when available if the patient is considered for radical therapy (such selleck products as surgery or chemoradiotherapy).    1.3.1.4 Obtain bone scan for stages IB-IV if PET/CT is not done.    1.3.1.5 Perform mediastinoscopy in selected cases; i.e. clinical stages (IB-II) Mediastinoscopy can be omitted if PET/CT Scan is negative.    1.3.1.6 Determine precise TNM staging using 7th edition (2009).   1.3.2 Small Cell Lung Cancer    1.3.2.1 Obtain contrast enhanced CT scan of chest and abdomen.    1.3.2.2 Obtain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain for stages IB-IV (preferred over contrast enhanced CT scan which can be if MRI is not available).    1.3.2.3 Obtain PET/CT scan if the disease in stages I–III.    1.3.2.4 Obtain bone scan if PET/CT is not done.

PD0332991 order    1.3.2.5 Determine precise TNM staging using 7th edition (2009).  1.4 PRE-TREATMENT ASSESSMENT   1.4.1 Discuss all new cases in a multidisciplinary conference (Tumor Board).   1.4.2 Obtain pulmonary function tests if surgery or curative radiotherapy is considered.  1.5 GENERAL   1.5.1 Offer available clinical research studies.   1.5.2 Counsel about smoking cessation and pulmonary rehabilitation. II. NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER  2.1 CLINICAL STAGE IA   2.1.1 Anatomical surgical

resection and mediastinal lymph node sampling.   2.1.2 No need for adjuvant chemotherapy (EL-1).   2.1.3 If optimal surgery cannot be performed, consider limited surgery (wedge resection or segmentectomy) (EL-1).   2.1.4 For positive surgical margins perform re-resection (EL-1). If not possible offer curative radiotherapy (EL-2).   2.1.5 If surgical resection is not Edoxaban possible, offer curative radiotherapy (EL-1).   2.1.6 Follow up and surveillance per Section 2.8 (follow up of non small cell lung cancer).  2.2 CLINICAL STAGE IB   2.2.1 Anatomical surgical resection mediastinal lymph node sampling (EL-1) or dissection (EL-3).   2.2.2 For lesions ≥4 cm or high-risk features (poorly differentiated, wedge resection, minimal margins, vascular Invasion), consider adjuvant chemotherapy. (EL-2).   2.2.3 Chemotherapy of choice: 4–6 cycles of cisplatin (carboplatin only if cisplatin is contraindicated) with docetaxel, gemcitabine or venorelbine (EL-1) or carboplatin and paclitaxel.   2.2.4 If optimal surgery cannot be performed, consider limited surgery (wedge resection or segmentectomy) (EL-1).   2.2.5 For positive surgical margins perform re-resection (EL-1) and if not possible, offer curative radiotherapy (EL-2).   2.2.6 If surgical resection is not possible, offer curative radiotherapy (EL-1).   2.2.
