Targetable “Driver” Mutations in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancerrelated mortality in the world despite advances in the field of cancer therapeutics. Traditional treatment with empirically chosen cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, have given small, but real survival benefits. Recent advances and insights into molecular pathogenesis of lung cancers have provided some novel molecular targets, offering newer strategies and agents that are tumor specific. Studies have identified mutations in specific genes that are involved in driv… Show more

“…Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in both men and women worldwide [1]. More than 80% of lung cancer are non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is comprised mostly of squamous cancers and adenocarcinomas [2,3]. According to survey of the American Cancer Society (ACS), lung cancer accounts for 28% of all male cancer deaths and 26% of all female cancer deaths in 2014 [4].…”
