CACA guidelines for holistic integrative management of lung cancer

Lung cancer (LC) is among the malignant tumors with the highest disease burden in the world, accounting for approximately 11.4% of all cancer cases, and LC was the 2nd most common type of malignant tumor. The editing of the CACA Guidelines for Holistic Integrative Management of Lung Cancer aimed to facilitate the enhancement of lung cancer diagnosis and comprehensive treatment in China. The CACA Guidelines for Holistic Integrative Management of Lung Cancer include the epidemiology, the early detection, the comprehensive diagnosis, the treatment (including surgical, medical and radiological treatment), rehabilitation, and some general principles for both non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The main objective of this guideline is to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment process of lung cancer, with a specific focus on enhancing the management of this disease in China.
