Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is most common cause of cancer death in the world. Early detection, diagnosis and treatments are the essential strategies for increased overall survival of patients. Recently, staging of NSCLC is updated to 8th edition of TNM staging for NSCLC issued by the IASLC which affects to overall survival and treatment methods. This chapter include the incidence and risk factors of lung cancer, screening for lung cancer, diagnostic investigation, pathology, stage, and current treatment modalities in each stage of disease. There are many issues in term of multimodality treatments including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
