There are two major types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)is the most common type and accounts for up to 85% of all lung cancer cases. It responds better to lung cancer treatment than other types. This type of ...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide1. Here we analysed 1,644 tumour regions sampled at surgery or during follow-up from the first 421 patients with non-small cell lung cancer prospectively enrolled into the TRACERx study. This project aims to decipher lung ...
As lung cancer has the highest cancer-specific mortality rates worldwide, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to detect early-stage tumors and to monitor their response to the therapy. In addition to the well-established
In response to comments, the USPSTF also added information about the currently low uptake of lung cancer screening and data on the effect of the current recommendation on eligibility for screening in Latinx/Hispanic persons.

Lung cancer is a major global health problem, as it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Major advances in the identification of key mutational alterations have led to the development of molecularly targeted therapies, whose efficacy has been limited by emergence of resistance ...
Findings In this nonrandomized clinical trial, 150 patients with suspected advanced lung cancer underwent ctDNA testing during initial diagnostic workup; 90 patients had tissue confirmation of advanced nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer. Median time to treatment was 39 days vs 62 days for a ...
This viewpoint discusses ethical challenges in the treatment of a 63-year-old man with terminal lung cancer who was participating in short-term individual art therapy. Difficult issues that often surface in the final days of life may include greater need for trust, dependency on others, feelings...

Metastatic disease is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths1. We report the longitudinal evolutionary analysis of 126 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours from 421 prospectively recruited patients in TRACERx who developed metastatic disease, compared with a control cohort of 144 ...
