Key Points
- Surgical resection is the standard of care treatment of patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer.
- Ablative techniques such as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and cryotherapy are good alternatives to surgical resection for medically inoperable patients with stage I and node-negative stage II (T1-3, N0, M0) NSCLC.
- In NSCLC patients considered for non-resectional approaches, a thorough evaluation of mediastinal and N1 nodal stations is critical, and may require invasive pathologic nodal sampling.
