The National Optimal Pathway for lung cancer was developed in conjunction with the lung CSG to support the implementation of the the Single Cancer Pathway (SCP) in Wales.

The Welsh Thoracic Oncology Group (WTOG) has revised the Lung Cancer National Optimal Pathway (NOPLC).  This second edition (2022) of the NOLCP reflects the changing developments in the treatment of lung cancer since the NOLCP was first described. A standardised approach to molecular and genetic testing of biopsies allows patients with both early and advanced stage lung cancer to benefit from an increasing range of novel therapies and improve access to clinical trials.
