In recent years, as we have a better knowledge and understanding of the biology of non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), which leads us to targeting biomarkers driving the NSCLC carcinogenesis and metastatic potential, we now have an increased number of options to offer our patients with NSCLC. We also realize the importance of distinguishing squamous and non squamous histology to guide our treatment decisions of NSCLC. The palliative care concomitant with therapies from the very start of the treatment also showed an impact on survival. This review examines the treatment options in all lines of therapy for metastatic NSCLC that have been approved in Canada, the United States, or Europe.
近年来,随着我们对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)生物学有了更深入的认识和理解,这使我们能够针对驱动NSCLC致癌作用和转移潜能的生物标志物,现在我们为NSCLC患者提供了更多的选择。我们也认识到区分鳞状和非鳞状组织学对于指导NSCLC治疗决策的重要性。从治疗一开始就与治疗同时进行的姑息治疗也显示出对生存的影响。本综述探讨了在加拿大、美国或欧洲已获批的转移性NSCLC各线治疗中的治疗选择。
