Definitive Radiotherapy to the Primary Tumor in Stage IV NSCLC: IASLC Consensus Statement

The role of radiotherapy (RT) in stage IV NSCLC has traditionally been palliative; however, with advancements in systemic therapies and insights into the evolutionary processes underpinning advanced disease, the rationale for aggressive primary-tumor control has received renewed interest. This International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) consensus statement evaluates the current evidence for the role, timing, dosing, target volumes, and safety of primary-tumor RT in both actionable genomic alterations (AGA) and non-AGA metastatic NSCLC populations.
