Lung Cancer

Though few great advances have been made in the treatment of lung cancer in recent years and the prognosis remains grim, there has been significant progress in the diagnosis and understanding of the biology of the disease. Desmond Carney is one of the leading researchers in the field, and his book brings together a group of world-renowned authorities to provide a much needed update. Lung Cancer focuses on the recent developments in cancer research on a global scale, including chemoprevention, the use of biological properties in early detection procedures, and the evaluation of lung cancer biology and molecular genetics in predicting treatment outcomes. Well-illustrated with photographs and line illustrations, this book will be valuable reading for clinical oncologists, radiation therapists, and respiratory physicians.
