| Abstract
|
:
|
This monograph provides a state-of-the-art summary of lung cancer biology, staging and treatment by internationally recognized experts in biology, surgery, radiotherapy and medical oncology. The revolution in biologic advances is put into the perspective of applications for diagnosis and early detection. In addition the monograph illustrates how these advances are pertinent to pathology and treatment. For each stage of small cell and non-small cell lung cancers, the role of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy is examined. Future directions including the use of colony stimulating factors and intensive chemotherapy are also explained.
