We propose a novel algorithm to streamline the diagnostic evaluation and cardiovascular classification for cancer patients with edema. We initially advise prompt evaluation with a chest X-ray and echocardiogram. We then suggest classification into one of five categories based on the timing of presentation of edema relative to cancer treatment, as well as echocardiography results and the presence or absence of hypertension or lymphatic causes of edema. This classification tool can then be utilized to guide further cardiovascular management suggestions.

This has led to several recent regulatory approvals supporting the use of adjuvant immunotherapy or neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy in NSCLC, and such therapies are now an integral component of care for early-stage disease. However, in select cases, such as in the presence of certain tumor oncogenes associated with immunotherapy resistance, the use of checkpoint inhibitors in the perioperative setting should generally be avoided. This speaks to the importance of integrating routine tissue-based molecular profiling, that evaluates for tumor oncogene mutations and PD-L1 expression, into our practice when caring for patients with early-stage NSCLC.
