RESUMO
New treatment paradigms for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with an emphasis on personalized care and a multidisciplinary approach, have significantly improved patient outcomes. The incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors into neoadjuvant, perioperative and adjuvant treatment algorithms is reshaping the standard of care for resectable NSCLC. Adjuvant targeted therapy trials have also paved the way for a much-needed personalized approach for patients with actionable genomic alterations. Innovative surgical techniques and judicious use of post operative radiotherapy may mitigate the toxicity associated with a multimodality approach. Amidst many new treatment options, questions remain about the best approach to consider for each patient. Measurement of minimal residual disease and achievement of pathologic complete response are emerging biomarkers of interest to help further refine treatment selection. This review summarizes the current management of resectable NSCLC, focusing on ongoing and recent advances in surgical approaches, the role of postoperative radiotherapy, and the rapidly changing field of systemic therapies.
