Molecular Targeted Drugs and Biomarkers in NSCLC, the Evolving Role of Individualized Therapy

Abstract: Lung cancer first line treatment has been directed from the non-specific cytotoxic doublet chemotherapy to the molecular targeted. The major limitation of the targeted therapies still remains the small number of patients positive to gene mutations. Furthermore, the differentiation between second line and maintenance therapy has not been fully clarified and differs in the clinical practice between cancer centers. The authors present a segregation between maintenance treatment and second line and present a possi… Show more

“…Despite improvements in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the overall 5-year survival rate remains poor, at <15% (1,3). As the deregulation of oncogenes or tumor suppressors has been implicated in the development and progression of NSCLC, investigations regarding the molecular targets show promise for the treatment of NSCLC (4,5).…”

“…In the past 5 years, novel targeted therapies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors based on the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), proto-oncogene B-Raf and v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) and proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS-1 (ROS-1) are used for treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (3). Immunotherapy in the past two years brought is considered a breakthrough NSCLC (4).…”
