The biology of lung cancer including potential clinical applications
S Zöchbauer-Müller, JD Minna - Chest surgery clinics of North America, 2000 - Elsevier
The understanding of lung cancer pathogenesis is rapidly growing and needs to be
translated into clinical practice. Molecular screening approaches will be combined with CT
scans to detect premalignant lesions and early-stage cancers in high-risk groups for lung
cancer and to monitor the efficacy of chemoprevention trials. New treatment approaches,
such as gene therapy, monoclonal antibodies against growth factors and receptors,
angiogenesis inhibitors, vaccines, apoptosis modulators, and new drugs targeted at these …
