Abstract:
Multiple primary lung cancer(MPLC) is defined as the simultaneous or successive occurrence of two or more primary lung cancers in the same individual, and distinguishing MPLC from intrapulmonary metastasis can be challenging. There is ambiguity in the treatment of such tumors, which can be influenced by the number, distribution of MPLC as well as patient cardiopulmonary function. This review will summarize current understanding of diagnostic criteria, stage classification, and treatment strategy for multiple primary lung cancer.
