Most lung cancer patients are diagnosed late and for many of them, there are currently no curative therapy options available, meaning long-term survival is still low. Nevertheless, enormous progress has been made in the field during the last decade. This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of and advances in lung cancer, covering areas such as: screening; tobacco control; COPD; diagnosis; therapy; and treatment of early stage lung cancer from both a surgeon's and radiation oncologist's perspective. Very recent achievements in innovative fields, such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies, are also discussed. aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on February 29, 2016). 0aLungsxCancer.1 aDingemans, Anne-Marie C.,eeditor.1 aReck, Martin,eeditor.1 aWesteel, Virginie,eeditor.2 aEuropean Respiratory Society,epublisher.08iPrint version :z9781849840613 0aERS monograph.403European Respiratory Societyuhttp://www.erspublications.com/lookup/doi/10.1183/2312508X.erm6815
