Non Small Cell Lung Cancer PubMed Searches

The hyperlinks below offer easy, one-click searching of PubMed for identifying high level evidence on major care issues relating to operable and inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. These experimental searches were created as part of a project with Cancer Council Australia (CCA) and reflect the clinical question framework currently used by CCA in developing its lung cancer guidelines.
 

Operable NSCLC Topics combined with NSCLC Staging1 Preoperative chemotherapy I II III I, II or III Postoperative chemotherapy I II III I, II or III Postoperative radiotherapy  I  II III I, II or III Mediastinal lymph node dissection vs sampling       Not specified Minimally invasive lobectomy vs open lobectomy       Not specified Topics not combined with NSCLC filter   Postoperative palliative radiotherapy for brain metastases       Not specified Postoperative palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases       Not specified

Inoperable NSCLC Topics combined with NSCLC filter Staging1 Radiotherapy  I II     I or II Radiofrequency ablation  I          Chemotherapy plus radiotherapy  I  II     I or II Radical radiotherapy     III     Radical radiotherapy: dose and fractionation     III     Radical radiotherapy: optimal volume     III     Palliative radiotherapy     III IV III or IV Optimal systemic therapy       IV   Topics not combined with NSCLC filter   Palliative radiotherapy for brain metastases           Not specified Palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases         Not specified

1. The staging component of each search strategy is based on TNM classification as outlined in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual. [1] Searches in the table covering more than one stage (e.g. I or II) or where staging is 'not specified' are a general search on the topic without inclusion of any stage term(s).
