New strategies for patients with molecular alterations and the management of particular types of cases are also highlighted.
Written by recognized experts in their field, the book represents a unique and valuable resource in the field of lung cancer, both for those currently in training and for those already in clinical or research practice.
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This brief book addresses current research and practice in the treatment of local, locally advanced, and metastatic lung cancer. … The audience appears to be experienced clinical and research thoracic surgeons and radiation and medical oncologists with a special interest in the critically important topic of treatment of lung cancer. It should also be of great value to trainees in these fields. … Chapters in this book are scholarly, encyclopedic in scope, and provide comprehensive bibliographic references.” (Fred Grannis, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2015)Editors and Affiliations
