Lung Cancer: An Evidence-Based Approach to Multidisciplinary Management (ePub Book)

Care of the lung cancer patient—screening, diagnosis, and treatment—has undergone recent dramatic changes due to technologic and research-driven advances. According to recent studies, these advances have led to higher survival rates in lung cancer patients. For example, new screening guidelines have improved early detection, allowing for earlier treatment interventions. Additionally, new practice standards and treatment advances, such as immunotherapy and targeted biomarker-derived therapies, have shown promising results in improving patient outcomes.

• According to a study published in [Journal Name], immunotherapy has shown significant efficacy in treating small cell and non-small cell lung cancers.
• Research studies have identified actionable molecular cohorts, including ROS1, BRAF, HER2, Met, and NTRK, which have led to more targeted treatment approaches.
• Recent research has also shown that patients with oligometastatic disease have better prognosis and treatment outcomes compared to those with widespread metastasis.

This practical, clinically oriented resource provides thorough, evidence-based coverage from experts in the field, reflecting the increasingly important precision medicine approach in lung cancer planning and management.

• For example, the inclusion of algorithms, pathology specimens, anatomic drawings, and imaging (such as PET/CT and CT) in this resource enhances diagnosis and treatment planning accuracy.
• The book also features “Top 5 Clinical Pearls” at the beginning of each chapter, providing succinct and practical insights from experienced medical professionals.
• Furthermore, the collaboration of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, and thoracic radiologists in sharing their experience and knowledge offers a real-world tumor board perspective, ensuring comprehensive and multidisciplinary management for lung cancer patients.
