Abstract
Despite fast growing information of tumor molecular biology, the increase in the therapeutic portfolio, and a significant improvement in diagnostic radiology, treatment of advanced NSCLC in 2017 remains palliative with still no curative perspective for the vast majority of patients. Therefore, the main treatment goals include the change from an acute into a chronic disease, extending survival times as well as improving or just maintaining quality of life. In order to assure an optimal palliation the majority of patients with advanced NSCLC – considering the high age and concomitant comorbidities - frequently may require modifications of the treatment standard.
