Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A review of risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment

Abstract: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most frequent subtype of lung cancer. Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or molecularly targeted therapy is used to treat NSCLC. Nevertheless, many patients who accept surgery likely develop distant metastases or local recurrence. In recent years, targeted treatments and immunotherapy have achieved improvement at a breakneck pace. Therapy must be customized for each patient based on the specific medi… Show more

“…Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) represents the predominant subtype of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of cases, and it is characterized by a poor prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of only 19% ( Rodríguez-Abreu et al, 2021 ; Mithoowani and Febbraro, 2022 ). Over the past few decades, various treatment modalities, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, have been employed in the clinical management of NSCLC ( Hopstaken et al, 2021 ; Miller and Hanna, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2021 ; Alduais et al, 2023 ). Despite the significant advances achieved for these treatment strategies, the development of therapy resistance in NSCLC remains a considerable challenge ( Brown et al, 2019 ; Patel and Weiss, 2020 ; Muthusamy et al, 2022 ), thus necessitating the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches for NSCLC.…”

“…Global cancer statistics from 2020 reveal that lung cancer comprised 11.4 % of all cancer cases and contributed to 18.0 % of cancer-related deaths worldwide [3]. Histologically, lung cancer can be classified into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), with treatment options primarily consisting of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapy [4,5]. However, despite of the above comprehensive treatment strategies, the prognosis of pa-Original Article: Endocrine Care Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and the Risk of Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis tients with lung cancer remains poor, highlighting the importance of primary prevention.…”

“…LC patients suffer from various symptoms, including cough, dyspnoea, pain, fatigue and nausea, as well as emotional disease and social concerns, all of which require health support in many occasions. 2 Advanced LC treatment is based on a systemic therapy consisting of a drug combination (platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy (IT)), IT in monotherapy, or targeted drugs in those patients who carry any targeted molecular alteration (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, etc.). These treatments are associated with a moderate level of toxicity, especially in fragile and highly symptomatic patients.…”
