The following suggestions and perspectives are provided by a European high-volume referral centre where locally advanced lung cancer patients are treated surgically in a COVID-19 hospital that guarantees a COVID-free therapeutic pathway. Hence, we need a fast-track algorithm for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies ( Fig. 1A -C) to be used in patients with stage IA-IIIA lung cancer, to guide the use of computed tomography (CT) and fluorodeoxyglucose PET scans and the pretest risk of malignancy and cytological/histological diagnostic procedures ( Fig. 2A) . Although talc slurry is a viable choice for patients who are not suitable for thoracoscopy, video-assisted thoracic surgery procedures with talc poudrage are strongly indicated for patients with stage IV lung cancer even during the COVID-19 outbreak because of the significant qualityof-life improvement and the favourable benefit/risk ratio.	./cache/cord-332650-05oz5zwz.txt	./txt/cord-332650-05oz5zwz.txt
