Lung Cancer:: Prevention, Management, and Emerging Therapies (Current Clinical Oncology) - March 2010 Edition


This
comprehensive resource provides authoritative knowledge of the most
up-to-date prevention and treatment strategies for thoracic
malignancies. Established and investigational therapies are placed in
the context of tumor biology for a full understanding of the
pharmacogenetics, etiology, and changing epidemiology of lung cancer.
Expert clinicians detail the function of predictive and prognostic
factors in the utilization of chemo-radiotherapy, adjuvant and
neoadjuvant treatment, and targeted agents. The promises and potential
pitfalls of investigational strategies are evaluated with exceptional
insight and clarity, with unique attention paid to the mechanisms of
drug resistance and targets for lung cancer treatment and prevention.
Lung Cancer: Prevention, Management, and Emerging Therapies engages the
entire spectrum of therapeutic modalities with focus on systemic
approaches. Disease coverage includes newly diagnosed and recurrent
non-small cell lung cancer, small cell carcinoma, mesothelioma, thymoma,
and thymic carcinoma. Critical examination of the impact, methodology,
and design of clinical trials is presented along with new paradigms for
personalized approaches and individual risk assessment
