The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines for various malignant tumors have been widely recognized and followed by global oncologists, in order to promote the standardization of cancer treatment and to provide the best treatment recommendations for cancer patients. However, there are still some differences in different countries and areas based on the specific conditions. In this paper, we compared the differences between NCCN non‐small‐cell lung cancer Clinical Practice Guidelines (Chinese version), the NCCN original edition, and European Society for Medical Oncology non‐small‐cell lung cancer guidelines.
