Advancements in lung cancer: a comprehensive perspective on diagnosis, staging, therapy and follow-up from the SAKK Working Group on Imaging in Diagnosis and Therapy Monitoring

In 2015, around 4400 individuals received a diagnosis of lung cancer, and Switzerland recorded approximately 3200 deaths related to lung cancer. Advances in detection, such as lung cancer screening and improved treatments, have led to increased identification of early-stage lung cancer and higher c...

description In 2015, around 4400 individuals received a diagnosis of lung cancer, and Switzerland recorded approximately 3200 deaths related to lung cancer. Advances in detection, such as lung cancer screening and improved treatments, have led to increased identification of early-stage lung cancer and higher chances of long-term survival. This progress has introduced new considerations in imaging, emphasising non-invasive diagnosis and characterisation techniques like radiomics. Treatment aspects, such as preoperative assessment and the implementation of immune response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (iRECIST), have also seen advancements. For those undergoing curative treatment for lung cancer, guidelines propose follow-up with computed tomography (CT) scans within a specific timeframe. However, discrepancies exist in published guidelines, and there is a lack of universally accepted recommendations for follow-up procedures. This white paper aims to provide a certain standard regarding the use of imaging on the diagnosis, staging, treatment and follow-up of patients with lung cancer.
