Abstract:
Outcomes with standard therapy for patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) of the lung have not improved significantly over the past decade using a predominantly empiric approach. Recent advances in pulmonary adenocarcinomas (ACs) have allowed the subdivision according to molecular subsets and the identification of specific molecular alterations that predict significant benefit from specific targeted therapies. Genomic alterations reported by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Project identified a number of molecular targets that need to be studied systematically to improve the overall survival of patients with SQCC of the lung.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
