Abstract:
Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer has now been subdivided into several subtypes. The five basic principles of treatment include chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and early palliative care. The latter should be implemented for all patients with metastatic lung cancer. The use of the other modalities depends on the histological subtype, as well as on the immunohistochemical and molecular features of the tumor.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
