Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is no longer acceptable to lump lung cancer into either small cell or non-small cell groups. With the advent of targeted therapy for cancers with mutations or rearrangements, and the increasing role for immunotherapy, there is an increasing need for precise pathology assessment and individualized therapy. This is an exciting time in lung cancer care, but these developments also require clinicians involved in lung cancer to be up to date with all new developments. Hopefully this Special Issue will assist clinicians in being aware of state-of-the-art lung cancer care.
