Abstract：Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rates among all malignancies,while chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)ranks the third in all the causes of death in the world.They share common risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms,which are closely interconnected and mutually influencing each other.Given that lung cancer combined with COPD(LC-COPD)significantly increases the complexity and challenges of the entire disease course management,a patient-centered,precision-based,multidisciplinary,and integrated care model is urgently needed.Based on this,the lung cancer branch and COPD branch of the Chinese Medical Association have for the first time jointly formulated the"International Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer Complicated by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(LC-COPD)".This consensus emphasizes the importance of"simutaneous oncologic and pulmonary management",and proposes seventeen expert consensus recommendations concerning such aspects as pathogenesis,multimorbidity screening,comprehensive disease assessment,and integrated personalized treatment strategies,which provide helpful guidance for formulating standardized diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients with LC-COPD.
