      <abstract xml:lang="ru">
        <p>Злокачественные новообразования трахеи, бронхов и легкого являются частой причиной смерти среди работоспособных граждан. Стандарт лечения наиболее распространенного подтипа – немелкоклеточного рака легкого – хирургическая резекция с последующей адъювантной фармакотерапией, однако развитие ранней диагностики и лечебных опций задает тенденцию к применению неоадъювантных стратегий, в связи с чем для врачей – онкологов, хирургов и патологов актуальным становится вопрос анализа регресса опухоли. Существующие на момент публикации обзора методы, которые возможно применять к немелкоклеточному раку, являются унифицированными и не предназначены для одной области. Создание системы оценки регресса немелкоклеточного рака легкого может послужить эффективным инструментом для всех специалистов, работающих с описанной выше локализацией, увеличив воспроизводимость результатов определения ответа опухоли среди патологов. Это позволит повысить точность клинического прогноза у пациентов, прошедших неоадъювантную терапию. В обзоре приведены как анализ научных исследований, изучающих морфологический регресс при немелкоклеточном раке легкого, в том числе при проведении иммунной терапии, так и сравнение с регрессом при лучевой терапии, а также предложения отдельных авторов и сообществ, заинтересованных в разработке единой системы.</p>

        <p>Malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchus, and lung are a major cause of mortality among the working-age population. The standard of treatment for the most common subtype, non-small cell lung cancer, is surgical resection followed by adjuvant pharmacotherapy. However, the development of early diagnosis and treatment options is setting a trend towards the use of neoadjuvant strategies. That is why the issue of tumor regression evaluation is becoming relevant for oncologists, surgeons, and pathologists. Currently available methods applicable to non-small cell lung cancer are standardized but not for the definite site. The creation of a system for assessing the regression of non-small cell lung cancer can serve as an effective tool for all specialists working with this disease. Such a system would improve the reproducibility of tumor response assessment among oncologic pathologists, increase diagnostic accuracy for specialists in radiologic ima ging, and facilitate the assessment of clinical prognosis in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant therapy. The review analyzes studies addressing the principles of morphological regression assessment in non-small cell lung cancer, including the context of immune therapy, and compares these approaches with regression assessment in radiation therapy. It also summarizes proposals from individual authors and professional communities interested in developing a unified evaluation system.&#13;
