Treatment of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) has evolved over the last decade. According to studies, the use of targeted therapies has significantly increased the life expectancy of patients. Moreover, ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) have improved clinical outcomes. In Lebanon, translating recommendations into clinical practice remains challenging. A Lebanese expert panel of oncologists was convened to describe the management paradigm and the clinical evidence supporting the optimal use of next-generation TKIs in patients with -rearranged NSCLC and to provide an expert overview of local challenges and recommendations for optimizing the management of advanced NSCLC in Lebanese patients. The experts agreed that these recommendations should be part of a healthcare strategy to be implemented at the national level.
