Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Next to adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung is the most frequent histologic subtype in non-small cell lung cancer. Several molecular alterations have been defined as "driver oncogenes" responsible for both the initiation and maintenance of the malignancy. The squamous cell carcinoma of the lung has recently shown peculiar molecular characteristics which relate with both carcinogenesis and response to targeted drugs. So far, about 40% of lung squamous cell carcinoma has been found harbouring driver oncogenes, in which fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) plays important roles. In this review, we will report the mainly advances on some latest driver mutations of squamous cell lung cancer.
肺癌是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因。在非小细胞肺癌中,肺鳞状细胞癌(SCC)是仅次于腺癌的最常见组织学亚型。几种分子改变已被定义为负责恶性肿瘤起始和维持的“驱动癌基因”。肺鳞状细胞癌最近显示出与致癌作用和靶向药物反应相关的独特分子特征。到目前为止,已发现约40%的肺鳞状细胞癌携带驱动癌基因,其中成纤维细胞生长因子受体1(FGFR1)发挥重要作用。在本综述中,我们将报告肺鳞状细胞癌一些最新驱动突变的主要进展。
