Abstract

Lung cancer care is rapidly changing with advances in genomic testing, the development of next-generation targeted kinase inhibitors, and the continued broad study of immunotherapy in new settings and potential combinations. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the Journal of Thoracic Oncology publish this annual update to help readers keep pace with these important developments. Experts in thoracic cancer and care provide focused updates across multiple areas, including prevention and early detection, molecular diagnostics, pathology and staging, surgery, adjuvant therapy, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for NSCLC, SCLC, and mesothelioma. Quality and value of care and perspectives on the future of lung cancer research and treatment have also been included in this concise review.

Keywords: Adjuvant therapy; Biomarkers; Cancer prevention; Immunotherapy; Malignant mesothelioma; Molecular diagnostics; NSCLC; Pathology; Radiotherapy; SCLC; Screening; Smoking cessation; Staging; Surgery; Targeted therapy; Value of therapy.
