This is a clinical practice guideline for adults with curatively treated stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The guideline examines radiographic imaging and biomarker surveillance strategies for these patients. The frequency of surveillance imaging, optimal imaging modalities, patient factors that would preclude surveillance, the role of circulating biomarkers in surveillance, and the appropriateness of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for NSCLC and SCLC are all specifically discussed.
