This book describes the molecular mechanisms of lung cancer
development and progression that determine therapeutic
interventions in the era of genomics, when the rapid evolution in
lung cancer diagnosis and treatment necessitates critical review of
new results to integrate advances into practice. The text opens
with background and emerging information regarding the molecular
biology of lung cancer pathogenesis. Updated results regarding lung
cancer prevention and screening are discussed, followed by chapters
on diagnostic techniques and pathological evaluation. This leads on
to a detailed presentation of treatment modalities, from surgery
and radiation therapy to standard chemotherapy and targeted agents.
The coverage includes resistance to therapy and the emergence of
immunotherapy for lung cancer; in addition, the current evidence in
respect of small cell lung cancer is summarized. The book presents
insights from experts across disciplines to emphasize the
importance of collaborative care. Advances in our understanding of
issues in geriatric oncology and palliative care complete the
comprehensive discussion of lung cancer.
