[Lung cancer : What has been confirmed in therapy?].

Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer has now been subdivided into several subtypes. The five basic principles of treatment include chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and early palliative care. The latter should be implemented for all patients with metastatic lung cancer. The use of the other modalities depends on the histological subtype, as well as on the immunohistochemical and molecular features of the tumor.
