Growth factors and lung cancer

  • Chapter
Lung Cancer

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 72))

Abstract

Lung cancer is the principal cause of cancer deaths in the Western world. New approaches to its treatment are urgently needed. It is likely that these will arise from a better understanding of the extracellular factors and intracellular molecular events that are responsible for sustaining its growth.
