Lung cancer, the most common and deadliest malignancy worldwide, is
one of the biggest challenges for modern oncology. Although lung
cancer presents the same incidence as breast or colorectal cancer,
it causes as much deaths as breast and colorectal cancers together.
Lung cancer demands our abilities as researchers, physicians, and
care-givers in a multidisciplinary approach. Genetic, biology,
pharmacy, pneumology, internal medicine, radiology, pathology,
thoracic surgery, radiation, medical oncology and palliative care
departments are essential members of the thoracic tumor boards.
Fighting Lung Cancer through Conventional Therapies is the second
volume of a saga entirely devoted to the treatment of lung cancer.
In the age of targeted oncology, more than 90% of lung cancer
patients are managed with conventional surgery, radiation, and
chemotherapy only. Furthermore, 100% of them will need conventional
treatments during the course of the disease. This volume updates
indications, techniques, and applications of surgery, radiotherapy
and chemotherapy in the treatment of lung cancer by an
international team of experts. Included within these pages are:
epidemiology and pathology; baseline and mediastinal staging;
minimally invasive surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery, and
standard surgery in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer;
radiation therapy for early non-small cell lung cancer; the
management of locally advanced non-small cell cancer; applications
of surgery to metastatic lung cancer; the new role of radiotherapy
in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer; conventional chemotherapy
as well as experimental treatments and combos with targeted
therapies; the treatment of early and advanced small cell lung
cancer; the role of palliative supportive care; and the integration
of all those disciplines in multidisciplinary tumor boards are
exhaustively reviewed.
