Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous one, entitled "Current Status and Clinical Developments in Lung Cancer: What to Expect from Emerging Drugs?”.
Lung cancer, small-cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer are the leading causes of cancer-related death. Most of the time, symptoms appear late; thus, the diagnosis of patients with lung cancer occurs at an advanced stage. The treatment of patients with this disease includes multidisciplinary approaches that are based on surgical practice, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy, which largely improve patients’ quality of life and survival rates.
For this reason, this Special Issue welcomes studies on innovative treatments, as well as immunotherapy drugs and molecular targeted therapies, which could enhance our understanding of the molecular biology of lung cancer in the era of personalized medicine. Submission focusing on diagnostic and therapeutic technologies and rational drug design are also encouraged.
Dr. Federico Pio Fabrizio
Guest Editor
