Description
Care of the lung cancer patient—screening, diagnosis, and treatment—has undergone recent dramatic changes due to technologic and research-driven advances. Lung Cancer: An Evidence-Based Approach to Multidisciplinary Management covers every aspect of this fast-changing field, including new screening guidelines, new practice standards, and new treatment advances that have led to higher survival rates. This practical, clinically oriented resource provides thorough, evidence-based coverage from experts in the field, including the increasingly important precision medicine approach in lung cancer planning and management.- Discusses key topics such as small cell and non-small cell lung cancers; immunotherapy, molecular cohorts including ROS1, BRAF, HER2, Met, and NTRK; oligometastatic disease; and more- Covers individualized treatment plans for chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted biomarker-derived therapies, and new and emerging immunotherapies- Provides excellent visual guidance throughout, including algorithms, pathology specimens, anatomic drawings, and PET/CT and CT imaging for diagnosis and treatment planning- Features "Top 5 Clinical Pearls" at the beginning of each chapter- Shares the experience and knowledge of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, and thoracic radiologists for a real-world tumor board perspective
