Lung Cancer takes an evidence-based approach to lung cancer management and explains these advances in depth.

Lung Cancer explores vital issues such as:

• Lung cancer susceptibility and risk assessment
• The pathology and pathogenesis of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma including bronchioloalveolar carcinoma
• Screening for early detection
• Advances in molecular and genetic markers
• The detection and treatment of pre-neoplastic lesions and screening for lung cancer
• Novel therapies such as angiogenesis and multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors
