ELCC 2010: The use of targeted radiotherapy to treat lung cancer

Prof Paul van Houtte, speaking at the 2010 ELCC conference, discusses the use of targeted radiotherapy to treat lung cancer. Advances such as the use of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) have had significant effects on the outcome of treatments in stage one patients. Prof van Houtte also speaks about possible future advances in identifying specifically where treatment should be targeted and his preference for epidermal growth factors over vascular targeting agents. Prof Paul van...

Individualized Treatment for Lung Cancer

The lung cancer program at the Winship Cancer Institute is shaping the future of lung cancer care by studying the effects of individualized cancer treatments. Because genetic mutations cause cancer, it is not uncommon for a lung cancer patient to have 50 genetic mutations in their cancer. Individualized care involves understanding the biology of the genes that are driving a patient's tumor. It is hoped that by understanding the drivers of a patient's tumor, treatments can be created to best...

Dr. Li Describes the Future of Lung Cancer Therapy

Tianhong (Tina) Li, MD, PhD, assistant professor, co-director of Phase I Program, UC Davis Cancer Center, believes the future of lung cancer will involve a shift towards personalized care. There is quite a lot of heterogeneity in lung tumors making the detection of mutations, such as ALK for the use of crizotinib (Xalkori), more important. This type of genetic testing should become more heavily used to determine future treatments.
