However, recently there has been an awakening of interest and funding, resulting in the identification of many promising therapeutic approaches, some of which are already in clinical trials. Thus, while the past has been bleak, the future offers greater promise. Abstract Small-cell lung cancer (...
Patients with a peripheral clinical T1 lung cancer do not usually need invasive confirmation of mediastinal nodes unless there is an abnormal standard uptake value in the nodes, found on positron emission tomography scanning. The staging of patients with left upper lobe tumors should include an ...
For the analyses of TNM categories presented here, only cases with a histologic diagnosis of non–small cell lung cancer and complete staging information were included. For cases in which chemotherapy was received before surgery (yp cases), only clinical stage was considered. Candidate proposals for...

Lung cancer is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and consequently the overall 5-year survival for patients is approximately 15%. However, patients diagnosed when the primary tumor is resectable experience 5-year survivals ranging from 20 to 80%. Clinical and pathologic staging is critical to ...
Environmental and occupational lung cancer risk factors, such as unprocessed biomass fuels, asbestos, arsenic and radon, can also contribute to lung cancer incidence in certain parts of the world. Over the past decade, large-cohort clinical studies have established that low-dose CT screening reduces...
