Key Points
- Survivorship after resection of NSCLC requires multidisciplinary involvement incorporating, active surveillance for recurrence, physical and emotional support through the recovery process, smoking cessation counselling and primary care provision
- The chance of recurrence after surgical resection increases with increasing initial pathological stage.
- Patients who develop recurrence may be managed by multimodality treatment including, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, interventional radiology and/or molecular targeted therapies.
- Patients are also at a 1-2% per year risk of developing a second primary lung and 55% are treatable
- Semi-annual CT Chest for the first 2 years followed by annual CT Chest is the recommended modality for surveillance after resection for NSCLC
