Lung cancer diagnosis and treatment has evolved to require the input and expertise of multiple diverse medical and surgical specialties. The approach to lung cancer patients requires the adherence to a few principles that include thorough use of staging modalities to assure the proper treatment for each patient, and an understanding of the limitations and advantages of each of these modalities. Evidence is continuing to emerge that supports the notion that diagnostic workup and treatment of lung cancer patients is best done within the context of a multidisciplinary team devoted to this purpose.
肺癌的诊断和治疗已经发展到需要多个不同医学和外科专业的参与及专业知识。肺癌患者的治疗方法需要遵循一些原则,包括充分利用分期手段以确保为每位患者提供恰当的治疗,以及了解每种手段的局限性和优势。越来越多的证据支持这样一种观点,即肺癌患者的诊断检查和治疗最好在专门为此目的组建的多学科团队的背景下进行。
