Metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) refers to the stage of NSCLC where cancer cells have spread from the lungs to other parts of the body. It is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases. When NSCLC metastasizes, it often spreads to the lymph nodes, liver, bones, brain, and adrenal glands.
