Antiangiogenesis for Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer in the Era of Immunotherapy and Personalized Medicine
Over the past decade, patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have witnessed substantial advances in regards to therapeutic alternatives. Among newly developed agents, angiogenesis inhibitors were extensively tested in different settings and have produced some favorable outcomes despite several shortcomings. Bevacizumab is the most examined agent in this context and has demons...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and more than 80% of cases are of non-small cell lung cancer. Although chemotherapy and molecularly targeted therapy may provide some benefit, there is a need for newer therapies for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC. Immunotherapy aims to augment the recognition of cancer as foreign, to stimulate immune respons...
متن کاملPersonalized medicine for non-small-cell lung cancer.
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous illness associated with a high mortality rate. Personalized therapy may improve treatment outcomes by identification of a specific genotypic anomaly and target-specific therapy. The most significant development in recent years was the discovery of activated EGF receptor (EGFR) mutations at exons 19 and 21. Patients with EGFR mutations respon...
متن کاملAdvances in immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer.
In most patients, lung cancer presents as advanced disease with metastases to lymph nodes and/or distant organs, and survival is poor. Lung cancer is also a highly immune-suppressing malignancy with numerous methods to evade antitumor immune responses, including deficiencies in antigen processing and presentation, release of immunomodulatory cytokines, and inhibition of T-cell activation. Advan...
متن کامل[Progress in immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer].
In recent years, the five-year survival rate of patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains low despite recent advances in surgery, irradiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Immunotherapy which utilizes the immune system to control and eradicate cancer is a viable treatment approach for malignancy. Immunotherapy in patients with lung cancer has made breakthrou...
