Abstract
Lung cancer (both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell) progress through a series of pre-malignant histologic changes before the development of invasive disease. Each of these carcinogenic cascades is defined by genetic and epigenetic alterations in pulmonary epithelial cells. Additionally, alterations in the immune response, progenitor cell function, mutational burden, and microenvironmental mediated survival of mutated clones contribute to the risk of pre-malignant lesions progressing to cancer. Medical preventions studies have been completed and current and future trials are informed by the improved understanding of pre-malignancy. This will lead to precision chemoprevention trials based on lesional biology and histologic characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Oncology brings you current, authoritative, and practical reviews of developments in the etiology, diagnosis and management of cancer. Each issue examines topics of clinical importance, with an emphasis on providing both the basic knowledge needed to better understand a topic as well as evidence-based opinions from leaders in the field. Seminars in Oncology also seeks to be a venue for sharing a diversity of opinions including those that might be considered "outside the box". We welcome a healthy and respectful exchange of opinions and urge you to approach us with your insights as well as suggestions of topics that you deem worthy of coverage. By helping the reader understand the basic biology and the therapy of cancer as they learn the nuances from experts, all in a journal that encourages the exchange of ideas we aim to help move the treatment of cancer forward.
