Overview
Medical Therapy for Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The algorithms for the treatment of stage IV non small cell carcinoma of the lung are based on the 2014 NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer guidelines.[1]
Is pleural or pericardial effusion present (suggestive of M1a) or are findings suggestive of systemic metastasis (M1b) present? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
M1a | M1b: solitary site systemic metastasis | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Perform the following tests:

Is the liquid extracted positive for malignant cells? | Are findings suggestive of adrenal metastasis or brain metastasis? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | Adrenal | Brain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Local therapy
