LUNG CANCER GEBUNDEN

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.
