Treatment Algorithms for Patients with Metastatic Non-small cell, non-squamous Lung Cancer

Treatment Algorithms for Patients with Metastatic Non-small cell, non-squamous Lung Cancer

A number of developments have altered the treatment paradigm for metastatic non-small cell, non-squamous lung cancer. These include increasing knowledge of molecular signal pathways, as well as the outcomes of several large-scale trials. As a result, treatments are becoming more efficacious and more...
