Abstract:
Metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer is still a devastating disease; however, treatment options have diversified dramatically in the past two decades. From unselected platinum-based chemotherapy for all patients, several different treatment groups have evolved, that is, those with "druggable" targets, those with a promising immune signature, and those without any predicting factors outlined in this article. Challenge includes the intersections between these groups and the optimal treatment path. These issues will be addressed in this review.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
Types of Advanced Functional Groups
The table below summarizes some of the major functional groups in organic chemistry.
