According to Tan and colleagues, no curative treatment for metastatic NSCLC exists. Further, the 5-year survivals rates depend upon how advanced the disease is at diagnosis.

Radiation therapy is recommended for local palliation or the prevention of symptoms. Surgery is contraindicated for patients with metastatic disease.
