Lung cancer has been the most common cancer in the world for several decades. The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes approximately about 80% of the total cases of lung cancer. Therapeutic interventions in NSCLC have shifted to the target-based approach from histology-based approach, and this has completely changed the face of the management of NSCLC. Developing countries, such as India, have very limited data compiled about the prevalence and treatment practices of lung cancer, despite a large burden of the disease. However, in recent times, there has been a lot of data generated in this regard. This article is an attempt to collate and shine light on the available data for the first-line treatment of NSCLC in India keeping in mind the current standards of care in this area.
几十年来,肺癌一直是全球最常见的癌症。非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)约占肺癌总病例的80%。NSCLC的治疗干预已从基于组织学的方法转向基于靶点的方法,这彻底改变了NSCLC的治疗面貌。尽管印度等发展中国家肺癌负担沉重,但关于肺癌患病率和治疗方法的汇编数据非常有限。然而,最近在这方面已经产生了大量数据。本文旨在整理并揭示印度NSCLC一线治疗的现有数据,同时牢记该领域当前的护理标准。
