Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor underlying responsiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer to gefitinib [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Most patients with non-small-cell lung cancer have no response to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, which targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).

The Diagnostic Accuracy of Chest CT in the Detection of Tumor and Nodal Status in Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma [PDF]
At this time there is an increasing demand for an accurate pre operative staging in non small cell lung cancer. Chest Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the imaging modality of choice used for this purpose.

Metronomic Chemotherapy with Vinorelbine Produces Clinical Benefit and Low Toxicity in Frail Elderly Patients Affected by Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer [PDF]
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. The treatment choice for advanced stage of lung cancer may depend on histotype, performance status (PS), age, and comorbidities. In the present study, we focused on the effect of metronomic vinorelbine

Cyclin-dependent kinase-specific activity predicts the prognosis of stage I and stage II non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Even with complete resection, the prognosis of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer is poor due to local and distant recurrence, and it remains unclear which biomarkers are

Non-small cell lung cancer: early stages
More than 170 000 new cases and 150 000 deaths have occurred in 2003 in US owing to lung cancer, which is the leading cancer death reason for men in US. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 80% of all lung cancers [1, 2]. Despite the progress in imaging and diagnostic procedures, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) usually presents as ...

How to manage KRAS G12C-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
Constitutive KRAS signalling drives tumorigenesis across several cancer types. In non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) activating KRAS mutations occur in ~30% of cases, and the glycine to cysteine substitution at codon 12 (G12C) is the most common KRAS ...
