Abstract

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common malignancy worldwide and a major cause of cancer-related death [1]. It represents 85% of all lung cancers and usually grows and spreads more slowly than small-cell lung cancer. Despite advances in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy over the last decades, the death rate from NSCLC has remained largely unchanged. Such poor long-term survival probably results from the fact that early-stage disease is asymptomatic and the onset of symptoms marks the presence of advanced, incurable disease.
