Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the cancer with the highest mortality worldwide, with two-thirds of cases detected only at locally advanced or metastatic stages.

In this vulnerable patient group, treatment decisions should be made individually based on performance status and tumor characteristics.
