Emerging Mutation-Focused Therapies Aim to Ease the Worldwide Burden of NSCLC
Epidemiology of the Disease Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for most lung malignancies and represents the dominant category of bronchial tumors across the world. Recent epidemiological observations indicate an increasing number of advanced and metastatic cases, particularly among older adults. Different histological forms show unique prevalence patterns, with squamous and non-squamous variants influencing how physicians select therapy. Precise identification of tumor type, supported by biomarker testing and improved diagnostic technologies, plays a major role in managing disease progression and improving patient outcomes. Diagnosis and Current Therapeutic Approaches The therapeutic landscape has evolved quickly alongside improved screening and molecular profiling. The expanding lung cancer surgery market remains important for patients diagnosed at early stages, while advanced cases increasingly rely on targeted agents and immunotherapies. Modern NSCLC treatment str...
