Malaysia's first-ever clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for the peri-operative management of early-stage resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), launched recently, are intended to enhance lung cancer care in the country.

NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer globally and in our country, making up about 85% to 90% of cases, with adenocarcinoma being the most frequent subtype.
