Induction chemotherapy for resectable non-small-cell lung cancer.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in American men and women. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of these cases. Although surgery is the best curative approach for resectable NSCLC, long-term survival for patients with operable disease remains poor. More than half of patients who initially present with stage I to IIIA disease experience relapse of metastatic ...
متن کاملOptimal approach for upfront resectable non-small-cell lung cancer
Approximately one third of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present with resectable disease, defined as clinical stages I and II and some borderline stage III extensions (e.g. T3N0–1). Although radical resection is the cornerstone of treatment in adequately staged patients, its outcome is not always curative, as some patients might be functionally inoperable, refuse surgery, hav...
متن کاملNivolumab in Metastatic Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Author's disclosures of potential conflicts of interest are found at the end of this article. L ung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States (Ameri-can Cancer Society [ACS], 2015). Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common types of the disease and accounts for 85% to 90% of lung cancer cases (ACS, 2015). Nonsquamous NSCLC accounts for approximately 45...
متن کاملRole of Radiotherapy in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Radiotherapy has had important role in the palliation of NSCLC. Randomized trials tend to suggest that, in general, short regimens give similar palliation and toxicity compared to longer regimens. The benefit of combining chemotherapy to radiosensitize the palliative radiation treatment is an open question, but so far it has not been proved to be very useful in NSCLC. The addition of molecular ...
متن کاملSentinel Node Mapping in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using an Intraoperative Radiotracer Technique
Objective(s): Lymph node metastases are the most significant prognostic factor in localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries, such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection, are among the therapeutic options of higher acceptab...
