Abstract
Background: The treatment landscape of non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NM-NSCLC) is rapidly evolving with recent approvals of immunotherapies and targeted therapies.
Methods: This retrospective study included 202 adults diagnosed with NM-NSCLC between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2020 primarily aiming to capture initial management strategies.
Results: Most frequent treatment patterns among Stage I/II patients (N = 84) were surgery only (48.8%) and surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy (with/without RT; 42.9%). Among Stage III patients (N = 118), most frequent patterns were chemotherapy plus radiotherapy (44.9%) and chemotherapy only (18.6%); 58.6% of Stage IIIA patients underwent surgery (of these, 32.4% also received chemotherapy and radiotherapy).
Conclusion: Initial strategy was aligned with contemporary at that time European guidelines, setting a benchmark for understanding the future uptake of new therapies.
