Description
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide and presents major challenges for treatment. Unfortunately, most patients are diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic disease, in spite of great efforts toward early detection. Most anticancer drugs that have been introduced recently to the clinic are molecular target-based drugs, which are believed to have less toxicity
compared with the conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. Therapies are also becoming more individualized, based on pharmacogenomic biomarkers and on histological subtypes.
In Advances in Personalized Therapy for Lung Cancer, internationally
renowned authors provide an overview of recent progress in molecular target-based therapies, biomarkers and
individualized approaches. The book provides investigators and practitioners with an invaluable resource that summarizes the exciting new findings in our efforts toward improved treatment outcomes for lung cancer patients.
