WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS FOR LUNG CANCER? Having a basic understanding of what lung cancer is helps us understand how it is treated. Lung cancer is made up of the ‘rapidly dividing’ cancerous cells, tumors, and blood vessels that feed the tumors. The main treatments for lung cancer target...

one example of a gene mutation’s link to cancer is theEGFR, or epidermal growth factor receptor, gene. EGFR mutations are often connected with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These are mutations that only occur in tumor cells; they are not usually mutations that can run in a family....
The advantage of targeted cancer drugs is that they are highly effective and have few side effects. "Side effects are things like diarrhea and skin side effects," Kim said. However, targeted cancer drugs also have a major drawback. Most of them develop resistance. "EGFR-targeted antitumor dru...

Cancer did not progress in 40% of patients receiving Keytruda + chemotherapy compared to 19% of patients receiving chemotherapy alone. Researchers evaluated patients with advanced, nonsquamous, non-small cell lung cancer who had never received treatment and did not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK ...
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a deadly cancer associated with smoke exposure that has neuroendocrine (NE) cell properties and is pathologically, molecularly, biologically and clinically very different from other lung cancers. While most patients with SCLC respond initially to cytotoxic therapy, almo...
