The first step in treatment of NSCLC involves confirmation of the clinical stage and determination of resectability of the tumor. This decision always should be made by a thoracic surgeon who routinely performs lung cancer surgery. Treatment options depend on the advancement of disease (i.e., local, locally advanced, or metastatic).

Small subcutaneous closes of heparin have been found to be effective in high-nsk post-surgical patients and in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The preventive treatment is commenced a few hours before an operative procedure and continued postoperatively for 4 to 5 days. As the result of a study in 1975. low-dose heparin prophylaxis in high-nsk patients who undergo abdomina-thoracic surgery has become a widely accepted practice, However, preventive anticoagulant therapy, to date, has been unsatisfactory and controversial in the instances of hip surgery or prostatectomy.
