Multiple Lung Cancers

  • The algorithm for the treatment of multiple non small cell lung cancers are based on the 2014 NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer guidelines.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is there suspicion of multiple lung cancers?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes
 
No
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Perform the following tests:
 
Administer treatment according to the TNM stage of the tumor
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is the disease is confined to the chest or is there systemic proliferation?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Disease confined to the chest
 
Systemic proliferation
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Assess the mediastinal lymph nodes in order to determine the N stage of the tumor
 
Click here for the treatment of systemic metastasis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What is the N stage of the tumor?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
N0-1
 
N2-3
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is the patient symptomatic?
 
Click here for the treatment of systemic metastasis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes
 
No
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is the lesion a solitary nodule or are there multiple nodules?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Solitary nodule
 
Multiple nodules
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What is the risk of turning into a symptomatic disease?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
High
 
Low
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is definitive local therapy possible?
 
 
 
Observation
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
No
 
Yes
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Consider palliative chemotherapy with or without local Radiation therapy
 
Administer one of the following treatments:
