Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lung cancer has become a paradigm for personalized medicine, where identifying disease subtypes through oncogenic driver mutations has led to the development of molecularly targeted therapies. Moreover, the impact of driver oncogenes on the immune tumor microenvironment has profound implications for the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this regard, there is an urgent need to address obstacles hindering clinical advancements in I-O and targeted therapies, including the development of accurate preclinical models mimicking human immunity and understanding molecular and cellular determinants of primary and secondary resistance. The design of effective combinations of personalized therapies is crucial for individual patient treatment. New treatments such as antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) could be used in the near future in lung cancer patients, alone or in combination with other therapeutic strategies. These new treatments should be associated with the development of predictive biomarkers. This Special Issue of Cancers focuses on recent topics of interest associated with lung cancer. This follows the 4th joint meeting between different physicians and researchers from both the MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX, USA), the FHU OncoAge (Nice, France), and the IHU RespirERA (Nice, France). The main objective of this Special Issue is to promote the recent understanding of the development of lung cancer, including new therapeutic strategies and new biomarkers.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
