Next Generation of Lung Cancer Management

The most important lung cancer research falls under the hub of personalized medicine. There is an expanding list of lung cancer genotypes that researchers have identified as relevant, and even more importantly, that they have discovered targeted therapies for. In addition, scientists are learning more about predictive markers for immunotherapy that may inform clinicians on how to optimally treat patients. Both targeted therapy and immunotherapy are approved in advanced non-small cell lung cancer and oncologists are learning more about the utility for these drugs in earlier stage disease.
