Abstract:
The stage-specific selection of therapy is the standard for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Investigation of the molecular biology of lung cancer has provided pathways and targets that may be used to improve the efficacy of therapy and improve the survival for patients with lung cancer.
Insights
Tailoring treatments to the specific stage of non-small cell lung cancer is standard practice. Understanding lung cancer
