ACS NLCRT Strategic Plan Article Series

The ACS NLCRT Strategic Plan Article Series will be published in Cancer as 15 separate open-access articles focused on the work of the ACS NLCRT Task Groups. The manuscripts will summarize the current state, needs, and barriers to implementing best practices in the lung cancer field.

The Task Groups will identify best practices for improving guideline-adherent care, and the strategic plan will describe the role of the ACS NLCRT and the essential roles of member organizations.
