Drug Resistance and Its Significance for Treatment Decisions in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: Non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) constitutes about 85% of all lung cancers. Approximately 50% of patients diagnosed with nsclc present with advanced disease (stage iii or iv) that is not amenable to curative treatment. The number of patients with stage iiib or iv disease who are alive at 1 year after diagnosis has increased from 10% in the untreated population in the early 1980s to 50% in patients with a good performance status receiving treatment today. However, those statistics remain dismal, and the two d… Show more

“…Surgery to remove cancer, with or without radiotherapy/chemotherapy, is the standard approach for early stage lung cancer. However, the recurrence of distant metastasis [ 6 , 7 ] or resistance to therapy [ 8 , 9 ] often occurs, and such phenomenon is associated with critical genetic alterations involved in various biological mechanisms.…”

“…Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide, partly due to an innate and acquired resistance to chemotherapy that critically limits the outcome of treatments 26 , 27 . Comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis of apoptosis resistance would facilitate in the identification of potential novel therapeutic targets.…”
